Toward the Internet of Things application and management: A practical approach

The Internet of Things (IoT) has experienced a blooming development these years. Most of the current IoT applications are built in a highly vertical way, consisting of proprietary protocols and devices. This leads to the users bound in a single service provider, poor quality of service, redundancy of the core platform functionality and delay of the whole industry. IoT over IP brings the fundamental support for global communications as well as access to services and information. Several homogenous and seamless machine-to-machine (M2M) communication mechanisms have been proposed to extend the interoperability of smart objects. In this paper we present a unified design of message-centric architecture based on MQ Telemetry Transport (MQTT) for IoT application and management, and target on some practical problems and optimization for actual system.
