Study Notes
MQTT Overview
- MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight publication/subscription messaging protocol, widely adopted in the Industrial Internet of Things.
- Designed for battery-powered devices, MQTT provides low power consumption and is suitable for unreliable communication networks.
Architecture and Components
- MQTT is based on a subscriber, publisher, and broker model.
- The publisher collects data and sends information to subscribers via the broker (mediation layer).
- The broker ensures security by cross-checking the authorization of publishers and subscribers.
Quality of Service (QoS)
- MQTT offers three QoS modes:
- QoS0 (At most once): Fastest mode, but least reliable, with no confirmation of receipt.
- QoS1 (At least once): Ensures message delivery at least once, but duplicates may occur.
- QoS2 (Exactly once): Most reliable mode, but most bandwidth-consuming, with duplicate control.
IoT Applications
- MQTT is widely used in IoT devices, such as electric meters, vehicles, detectors, and industrial/sanitary equipment, due to its:
- Low bandwidth use
- Operation over wireless networks
- Low energy consumption
- Good reliability (if necessary)
- Little processing and memory resources
Limitations and Variants
- MQTT can be problematic for very restrictive devices due to TCP transmission and long topic names.
- The MQTT-SN variant uses UDP and supports topic name indexing, addressing these limitations.
MQTT Characteristics
- Lightweight publish and subscribe system
- Designed for constrained devices with low-bandwidth
- Ideal for Internet of Things applications
- Enables easy communication between multiple devices
MQTT Basic Concepts
- Publish/Subscribe: Devices can publish messages on topics or subscribe to receive messages
- Messages: Information exchanged between devices, such as commands or data
- Topics: Represented by strings separated by forward slashes, specifying message interest or publication
