Design of a Simplified Wireless Sensor Network Node based on MQTT Protocol
MQTT protocol is a publish/subscribe message protocol based on TCP/IP protocol. It has the characteristics of low power consumption, scalability, openness and simplicity. HTTP protocol is an open and low-cost request/reply message protocol based on TCP/IP protocol. It is the main protocol of Internet communication, but it is not suitable for the environment of computing, processing and bandwidth limited. In this paper, a simplified wireless sensor network node was designed based on MQTT protocol. The node was designed to use the Arduino development environment and use the WiFi for networking. It has the characteristics of simple structure, low power consumption and so on. The design can be widely used in smart home, environmental monitoring and medical applications, and is the main contents of the Internet of things (IoT).
