-Tree topology (figure {{ref>nettree}}) organizes devices hierarchically, with a root node at the top and subsequent devices forming branches at multiple levels. It is a structured extension of the star topology. In this type of topology, some nodes operate as relays for others. If one of the relays fails (crashes or experiences poor link quality), all the descendant nodes that depend on it will be disconnected from the network. \\+Tree topology (figure {{ref>nettree}}) organises devices hierarchically, with a root node at the top and subsequent devices forming branches at multiple levels.

-Linear topology (figure {{ref>netlinear}}) connects devices sequentially, with each node linked to its immediate neighbour.+Linear topology (figure {{ref>netlinear}}) sequentially connects devices, linking each node to its immediate neighbours. A variation of this topology is a linear topology with redundancy, which allows each node to connect to its two adjacent neighbours both in front and behind. This setup provides backup routing capabilities in case one of the nodes fails. In linear topologies, all nodes, except for the last one, must be capable of functioning as data relays.

-Choosing the proper IoT network topology requires carefully evaluating the application’s needs, including reliability, scalability, cost, and energy efficiency. Often, IoT deployments use a combination of topologies to optimize performance across diverse requirements. Understanding each topology’s strengths and limitations is essential for designing effective IoT networks.+Choosing the proper IoT network topology requires carefully evaluating the application’s needs, including reliability, scalability, cost, and energy efficiency.
