Abstract
Internet of things (IoT) is a complex system with few best practices in building ones, especially on handling real-time communication between IoT devices to the Internet. A framework is often used to fasten building IoT system. This paper present Mobile Internet of Things (MIOT), a framework which use a smartphone as the main component to handle communication between IoT device and the internet. A smartphone is used as the communication gateway (relay) for IoT devices and not as the IoT controller as in common Smartphone-IoT approach. For evaluation purpose, two implementations of IoT prototype scenario is built, an environmental monitoring and a remote controller (RC) car. The experiment shows a quick and easy deployment of IoT system. The Environment Monitoring able to send data to the server in real-time, and control The RC Car with a reasonable response time.The experiment on 200 ms interval between each packet, shows that MIOT Framework has round-trip latency between MIOT Server and IoT hardware for ≈ 88.007 ms. The addition of smartphone as the main component in the framework (MIOT Apps) contribute to additional latency ≈ 13.145 ms. Using a Smartphone as a gateway for IoT in MIOT Framework is possible and promising. It can be used as a best practice to develop a reliable IoT system which reduces time, effort, and learning overhead on building IoT systems.
Highlights
Internet of Things (IoT) is an ecosystem where daily Things are connected to the Internet to gain more benefit
Those researchers proposed an architectural concept where Smartphone can be used as a bridge or gateway for IoT devices
A user using MIOT Controller will connect to MIOT Server, be able to communicate with IoT devices
Summary
Internet of Things (IoT) is an ecosystem where daily Things are connected to the Internet to gain more benefit. The framework in this research, put the Smartphone into the ‘Things’ side which aimed to help ‘Things’ to be connected and communicate with the Internet In this case, the Smartphone is used as the gateway (relay) for IoT device. The idea of Smartphone as the gateway to help Things connect with the Internet was first coined by Golchay et al [6] in 2011, by Zachariah et al [7] and Roy Want et al [8] in 2015 Those researchers proposed an architectural concept where Smartphone can be used as a bridge or gateway for IoT devices. This approach means new IoT product will require new Apps and only works in a specific closed system, despite that these products use the same communication technology (Bluetooth) Those are the case that mentioned by Zachariah et al [7] happened in Smartwatch from Apple, Motorolla, and Samsung.
