Abstract:
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) requires robust, efficient, and low-latency communication protocols to enable seamless real-time data transmission, ensuring reliability, scalability, and interoperability across industrial environments. This paper provides a comprehensive exploration of various low-latency communication protocols, including Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), MQTT-SN, OPC UA over TSN, and 5G Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC). Each protocol is analyzed in terms of its architecture, performance characteristics, and suitability for industrial applications such as smart manufacturing, predictive maintenance, and industrial automation. Furthermore, this study examines the advantages and limitations of each protocol, addressing key factors such as latency, jitter, bandwidth efficiency, security, and integration challenges. Comparative analyses using figures, tables, and bar charts illustrate the performance of these protocols in different IIoT scenarios. The paper also highlights emerging trends in IIoT communication, including the convergence of edge computing, artificial intelligence, and software-defined networking to further enhance real-time decision-making. Finally, potential research directions and future advancements in IIoT communication protocols are discussed, providing insights into the evolving landscape of industrial networking.
