Internet of Things - Technology and Protocols

IoT primarily exploits standard protocols and networking technologies. However, the
major enabling technologies and protocols of IoT are RFID, NFC, low-energy Bluetooth,
low-energy wireless, low-energy radio protocols, LTE-A, and WiFi-Direct. These
technologies support the specific networking functionality needed in an IoT system in
contrast to a standard uniform network of common systems.

NFC and RFID


RFID (radio-frequency identification) and NFC (near-field communication) provide simple,
lowenergy, and versatile options for identity and access tokens, connection
bootstrapping, and payments.

RFID technology employs 2-way radio transmitter-receivers to identify and track


tags associated with objects.

NFC consists of communication protocols for electronic devices, typically a mobile


device and a standard device.

Low-Energy Bluetooth
This technology supports the low-power, long-use need of IoT function while exploiting a
standard technology with native support across systems.

Low-Energy Wireless
This technology replaces the most power hungry aspect of an IoT system. Though
sensors and other elements can power down over long periods, communication links
(i.e., wireless) must remain in listening mode. Low-energy wireless not only reduces
consumption, but also extends the life of the device through less use.

Radio Protocols
ZigBee, Z-Wave, and Thread are radio protocols for creating low-rate private area
networks. These technologies are low-power, but offer high throughput unlike many
similar options. This increases the power of small local device networks without the
typical costs.

LTE-A
LTE-A, or LTE Advanced, delivers an important upgrade to LTE technology by increasing
not only its coverage, but also reducing its latency and raising its throughput. It gives
IoT a tremendous power through expanding its range, with its most significant
applications being vehicle, UAV, and similar communication.

WiFi-Direct
WiFi-Direct eliminates the need for an access point. It allows P2P (peer-to-peer)
connections with the speed of WiFi, but with lower latency. WiFi-Direct eliminates an
element of a network that often bogs it down, and it does not compromise on speed or
throughput.
