Abstract: MQTT is a messaging protocol that enables
efficient and lightweight telemetry transport that is required
in the modern era of communications. Many devices are
communicating directly to each other, thus forming the
Internet of things, a new Machine to Machine (M2M)
communication network. Aim of this paper is to present
MQTT key concepts, most notably publish/subscribe model
that is well suited for smart sensors and smartphones, as
they require efficient means of communication due to their
limited processing power and short battery life. Some
successful MQTT application examples will be considered
and it will be discussed on how they can benefit today’s
world. It will be discussed with more detail how Android
devices among others can benefit most out of MQTT, by
using a Service implementation of a push mechanism for
receiving important notifications. |
