Seleceted Wireless Communication Protocols and their Properties for Use in IoT Systems

Abstract The article is focused on testing selected communication protocols for the Internet of Things. The aim of the experiments was to find a suitable communication protocol to build a smart device of home automation. The recent developments in the field of communication protocols and data processing are providing a new form of constrained communication, while describing how the Things talk to each other in the Internet of Things. With growing number of connected devices in industry and commercial field, there is a need for the devices which can handle the new forms of communication, handle sensors and operate the battery power. The gathered data is either processed on the “edge” of the network or on the cloud platforms. Authors present a comparison of selected newest communication protocols, while reflecting on the results of their experimental testing.
