Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) opens up tremendous opportunities to provide location-based applications. However, despite the services around a user being physically adjacent, common IoT platforms use a centralized structure, like a cloud-computing architecture, which transfers large amounts of data to a central server. This raises problems, such as traffic concentration, long service latency, and high communication cost. In this paper, we propose a physical distance-based asynchronous messaging platform that specializes in processing personalized data and location-based messages. The proposed system disperses traffic using a location-based message-delivery protocol, and has high stability.

Highlights

  • With the recent development of network and embedded system technologies, interest has grown in the Internet of Things (IoT)

  • Despite the devices being physically adjacent, common IoT platforms transfer large amounts of data, generated by multiple devices, to a central server via a global network. This causes problems, such as network congestion due to traffic concentration, service-delay problems caused by multi-hop communication, and a high communication cost because the device is always connected with a centralized server via a global network

  • The proposed system is composed of (1) a wireless communication proxy that is responsible for direct communication between various mobile nodes; (2) a self-organizing localized IoT messaging hub (SLIM Hub) that makes up the autonomous overlay network; and (3) an ePost-it messaging platform that provides a common format for the services

Summary

Introduction

With the recent development of network and embedded system technologies, interest has grown in the Internet of Things (IoT). Many mobile objects require a complex network protocol, like 6LoWPAN (IPv6 over Low-power Wireless Personal Area Networks) or TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), to connect to a network. This is difficult to implement in mobile phones and resource-constrained embedded systems like wearable devices. The proposed system is composed of (1) a wireless communication proxy that is responsible for direct communication between various mobile nodes; (2) a self-organizing localized IoT messaging hub (SLIM Hub) that makes up the autonomous overlay network; and (3) an ePost-it messaging platform that provides a common format for the services.
