AbstractInternet of Things (loT) is an emerging technology which enables all sorts of physical objects called "Things" to be connected through internet all the time. It does not only enable physical objects to be connected with each-other but it enables the connectivity between people-people, people-things and things-things with the help of sensors, softwares and electronics. The loT can be defined as a system which is globally connected through cyber-physical technology used for several applications in the field of domotics, logistics, e-health etc. It has the potential to impact the way we live and the way we work. The intention of this research is to study flexible wireless communication schemes for the loT that impose heterogeneity of "Things" in terms of their hardware capabili- ties and communication requirements. For better understanding, the case of Point-to- Point Communication is discussed, where different type of "Things" of different priority are being considered as transmitting nodes and an Access Point (AP) is considered as a receiver where each thing of different type can automatically adjust the transmitting power, modulation type and packet size. Its resulted performance based on Packet Error Rate (PER), Energy consumption and Energy efficiency using Additive 'White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and Rayleigh fading channel for different modulation tech- niques (Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK), 8-Phase Shift Keying (8-PSK) and 16-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (16-QAM) is evaluated after simulations. In addition, Forward error correction (FEC) is used to improve the overall performance.
