Common protocols and standards used in IoT systems

There are several protocols and standards commonly used in ๐ˆ๐จ๐“ systems to ensure interoperability, secure communication, and efficient data exchange as defined in the Infographic. Here are some of the key ones:

  1. ๐Œ๐๐“๐“ (๐Œ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐š๐ ๐ž ๐๐ฎ๐ž๐ฎ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐“๐ž๐ฅ๐ž๐ฆ๐ž๐ญ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐“๐ซ๐š๐ง๐ฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ):
    MQTT is a lightweight messaging protocol designed for efficient communication between IoT devices and the server or cloud. It follows a publish-subscribe model, allowing devices to publish data to topics and other devices or applications to subscribe to those topics to receive the data.

  2. ๐‡๐“๐“๐ (๐‡๐ฒ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ญ๐ž๐ฑ๐ญ ๐“๐ซ๐š๐ง๐ฌ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ซ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ญ๐จ๐œ๐จ๐ฅ):
    HTTP is a widely used protocol for communication between web browsers and servers. In the context of IoT, HTTP is often used for device management, configuration, and data retrieval.

    CoAP is a lightweight application-layer protocol designed for constrained devices and networks, such as those found in IoT deployments.

  4. ๐€๐Œ๐๐ (๐€๐๐ฏ๐š๐ง๐œ๐ž๐ ๐Œ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐š๐ ๐ž ๐๐ฎ๐ž๐ฎ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ญ๐จ๐œ๐จ๐ฅ):
    AMQP is a messaging protocol that enables reliable and secure communication between devices and applications. It supports asynchronous, message-oriented communication patterns and provides features such as message queuing, routing, and transaction management.

  5. ๐™๐ข๐ ๐›๐ž๐ž:
    Zigbee is a low-power wireless communication protocol specifically designed for IoT devices.

  6. ๐™-๐–๐š๐ฏ๐ž:
    Z-Wave is a wireless communication protocol primarily used for home automation and smart home applications. It operates in the sub-GHz frequency band and offers low power consumption, long-range coverage, and mesh networking capabilities.

  7. ๐‹๐จ๐‘๐š๐–๐€๐:
    LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is a low-power, wide-area networking protocol designed for long-range communication with low-power IoT devices. It enables devices to communicate wirelessly over long distances while conserving battery life.

    OPC UA is a widely adopted industrial communication protocol for machine-to-machine communication in industrial IoT systems. It provides a secure and scalable framework for interoperability between devices, machines, and industrial software systems.

These protocols and standards play a crucial role in enabling seamless communication, interoperability, and security within IoT systems. The specific protocols used in an IoT deployment depend on factors such as the application domain, device capabilities, network infrastructure, and specific requirements of the system.
