Abstract
The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) has opened up unprecedented opportunities across a wide range of industries; however, as the number of connected devices proliferates, the problem of energy consumption is becoming increasingly acute. Low-power wireless communication protocols are particularly important in this context, as they can not only significantly extend the battery life of devices, but also reduce maintenance costs and improve overall system reliability. This paper provides an in-depth look at the application of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Zigbee, LoRaWAN, and other low-power technologies in IoT environments, and analyzes the design principles and optimization methods of these protocols. Through these studies, we hope to provide readers with a comprehensive perspective and a deep understanding of the central position and future trends of low-power wireless communication protocols in modern IoT systems.
