Abstract: The rapid advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) has led to the proliferation of connected devices across various domains, including smart cities, industrial automation, and healthcare. However, interoperability challenges arising from heterogeneous communication protocols, diverse data formats, and fragmented standardization efforts hinder the seamless integration of IoT systems. This paper explores the current state of IoT interoperability, analyzing key challenges, existing standardization initiatives, and emerging technological solutions. We examine the role of middleware, gateway solutions, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and edge computing in facilitating interoperability. Furthermore, we provide a comparative analysis of major IoT standards and discuss the potential for greater convergence among standardization efforts. The findings highlight that while significant progress has been made, a unified and widely accepted interoperability framework remains elusive. Addressing these challenges requires collaborative efforts among industry stakeholders, researchers, and policymakers to establish robust and scalable interoperability solutions, ensuring the continued growth and efficiency of IoT ecosystems.
