Overview of standardized and proprietary wireless networking solutions, with a particular focus on the Internet of Things. The RFID and NFC technologies. Short-range, narrowband wireless sensor networks, such as ZigBee, Z-Wave, Bluetooth, BLE. Short-range, wideband wireless networks supporting higher datarates (UWB, WiGig). Broadband LAN networks with medium range and high datarates, including standards from the third to the sixth generation of Wi-Fi. Cellular networks of the latest generations (4G, 5G), with particular focus on the LTE-M, NB-IoT, URLLC and mMTC technologies, which are most suitable for Internet of Things applications. Other standardized (MyThings) and proprietary solutions (LoRa, Sigfox) for IoT networking. Qualitative and quantitative comparison of the wireless technologies and networks with respect to performance (delay, throughput) and energy efficiency. Applicability of the standard and proprietary wireless networking solutions in IoT applications and services for various purposes (for smart homes, cities, industrial automation, agriculture, healthcare, etc.). |
