Connecting IoT devices to an architecture that allows for end-to-end service integration is becoming more important as the number of devices utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to rise. From 10 billion in 2015 to 34 billion in 2025, the number of internet-connected devices is expected to see tremendous rise.IN THE LONG RUN, LTE networks will be the most suitable ally to meet the needs of the same in terms of service. The signaling overhead in IoT systems, however, will increase at an exponential rate as the number of IoT devices continues to rise. Consequently, the signaling overhead in LTE networks will rise. Because of the high volume of data sent and received by IoT devices, the current protocol stack of LTE networks is ill-equipped to manage the surge in signaling traffic that these networks generate. An efficient protocol stack for managing LTE-based Internet of Things traffic is suggested in this study. The development of a unique protocol stack that can include IoT traffic into LTE systems is suggested with particular emphasis. Before proposing a new protocol stack to support IoT traffic on LTE networks, the thesis discusses the many shortcomings of the current stack. To address the shortcomings of current scheduling schemes and include the suggested protocol stack, a new scheduling method based on queuing models is also suggested.
