Summary
The 5G Research group interests are focused on the design and testing of IoT test beds to improve the present problems in IoT such as security caching and resource discovery. Severallimitations are imposed on an IoT system due to Constrained Node (Nodes which have tight limits on power, memory, and processing resources). So new set of protocols are required to make communication efficient, this area is given special importance. Previously the protocols introduced in this field are CoAP; RPL, MQTT and 6LoWPAN.These resource constrained protocols are used in IoT environment to provide maximum possible efficient communication between devices. Extensions to these protocols are in progress to improve them at the same time research is going on to introduce new protocols to encounter and solve other problems.
