Abstract

The Internet of Things refers to network of physical objects that use IP address for Internet connectivity and to communicate with other Internet-enabled devices and systems. The Internet of Things comes with a number of top-class applications and has also developed many things into smart devices. The enhanced objects would ultimately need to have better connectivity and wireless communication protocols with low power consumption. Hence, this chapter presents the survey which gives a picture of the current state of the art on conventional wireless technologies used in most IoT devices, as well as to select the most suitable common IoT communication technologies that can ensure uninterrupted connection and support real-time data transmission in energy efficient form. Also, this chapter contributed a comprehensive comparison for both long-range and short-range common IoT communication technologies that are used in different applications.
