Abstract
The purpose of Internet of Things (IoT) communications technologies is to establish connections between disparate objects in order to provide explicit smart services. This study attempts to give a thorough overview of the most recent wireless technologies and protocols for Internet of Things applications which employ solar energy harvesting (SEH). The study focuses on long-range communication and low power wireless technologies used in SEH for Internet of Things applications. A thorough and in-depth discussion of the IoT system’s wireless technology and solar energy harvesting process with its classification for IoT applications is provided. Additionally, we detailed the specific difficulties with the prevalent communication technology used in IoT applications. This study compares the architecture, features (such as data rate, energy consumption, and range), protocol structure, and security of several wireless communications used in SEH. The study’s methodology is centered on connectivity range, energy consumption, data rates, applications it also emphasizes the difficulties associated with each technology and future research. The suitability of the specific protocol for echo-system applications is categorized.
