Abstract

Communication technologies play an important role in any wireless network. The networks comprise on energy constraint devices require low power communication technologies. Internet of Things (IoT) is a new and progressing concept that provides connectivity to the Internet via smart sensing devices to attain identification and management in a heterogeneous connectivity environment. Various communication technologies for Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN) like IoT are available presenting several properties. IoT concept involves all heterogeneous objects around us communicating with each other locally and via internet globally. Such kind of network poses several challenges and requirements for choosing the best amongst the available communication technologies. This paper is intended to present a critical study of IoT requirement, issues and challenges and propose the best or suitable amongst the available communication technologies.
