Abstract

As the most recent development in cyberspace technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT) has received substantial research attention. It now occupies a crucial role in advancing society and industry. IoT merges Social Networks and connects devices to allow people interact one another and simplify information sharing. IoT has two main aspects: the internal and the external. Whereas the latter side consists of sensors, actuators, etc. which are physically likely, the former consists of protocols that are highly important. IoT has particular protocols in different layers such as Transport layer, Physical/Link layer and Application layer, which is accountable for messaging and supplying services. This paper explores the foremost widespread IoT data transmission protocols and their main options. The protocols play a vital role in inventing up-to-date IoT projects and devices. This article provides an uncomplicated review of IoT data protocols based on user requirement.
