Abstract

One of the important factors affecting communication performance in the Internet of Things is the messaging protocol. MQTT, XMPP and AMQP are centralized application protocols that communicate through the server. DDS and CoAP are application protocols that can communicate directly, especially in real-time applications. As the Internet of Things is becoming more widespread and usage scenarios have different requirements, new approaches to data communication are required. In this study a UDP based hybrid protocol is designed which can communicate both directly and through central server. Operating logic and packet structure of the developed protocol is examined and compared with MQTT protocol with respect to their functionality.

NESNELERİN İNTERNETİ İÇİN HİBRİT UYGULAMA KATMANI PROTOKOL TASARIMI

Abstract

Nesnelerin İnternetinde, iletişim başarımını etkileyen önemli faktörlerden biri kullanılacak olan mesajlaşma protokolüdür. MQTT, XMPP ve AMQP merkezi yapıda ve sunucu aracılığıyla haberleşen uygulama protokolleridir. DDS ve CoAP ise özellikle gerçek zamanlı uygulamalarda doğrudan iletişim için kullanılan uygulama protokolleridir. Nesnelerin İnternetinin giderek yaygınlaşması ve kullanım senaryolarının farklı gereksinimlere sahip olması, veri iletişiminde yeni yaklaşımların geliştirilmesini gerekli kılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada hem merkezi sunucu aracılığıyla hem de doğrudan iletişim sağlayabilen UDP tabanlı hibrit bir protokol tasarlanmıştır. Geliştirilen protokolün çalışma mantığı, paket yapısı ele alınmış ve işlevsellik yönünden MQTT protokolü ile karşılaştırılmıştır.
