| Summary: | At the heart of the Internet of Things revolution is wireless networking. This paper examines wireless networking technologies for the Internet of Things from the two most important, yet conflicting, perspectives – energy efficiency and interoperability with the “traditional” Internet stack – WiFi/TCP/IP. We begin by establishing the need for both energy-efficient and Internet-compatible wireless technologies for the Internet of Things. We then analyze sources of energy consumption at the various layers of wireless networking technologies, and examine alternative energy-efficient protocols and the most popular IoT wireless technologies, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and IEEE 802.15.4. |
