Abstract

IoT has become an integral part of our lives, and data communication is one of the most important aspects of IoT. IoT devices can exchange data with each other via secure communication channels. This study aimed to review the IoT data communication challenges and solutions This paper attempts to address the key challenges and solutions for effective IoT data communication, starting by exploring the current challenges of IoT data communication related to scalability, reliability, and security, potential solutions to these challenges, such as using a mesh network, centralized servers, and edge computing. In addition, the paper discusses the importance of proper authentication and authorization techniques to ensure secure communication between IoT devices. The potential of IoT data communication is vast and has the power to fundamentally transform our society. It is an exciting time to be involved in this field, and the future looks promising for the advancement of IoT data communication.
