In today's technology ecosystem, IoT interacts with many application areas such as smart city, smart building, security, traffic, remote monitoring, health, energy, disaster, agriculture, industry. The IoT network in these scenarios comprises tiny devices, gateways, and cloud platforms. An IoT network is able to keep these fundamental components in transmission under many conditions with lightweight communication protocols taking into account the limited hardware features (memory, processor, energy, etc.) of tiny devices. These lightweight communication protocols affect the network traffic, reliability, bandwidth, and energy consumption of the IoT application. Therefore, determining the most proper communication protocol for application developers emerges as an important engineering problem. This paper presents a straightforward overview of the lightweight communication protocols, technological advancements in application layer for the IoT ecosystem. The survey then analyzes various recent lightweight communication protocols and reviews their strengths and limitations. In addition, the paper explains the experimental comparison of Constrained Applications Protocol (CoAP), Message Queuing Telemetry (MQTT), and WebSocket protocols, more convenient for tiny IoT devices. Finally, we discuss future research directions of communication protocols for IoT.展开更多

In this work, we propose Link Layer Measurement Protocol （LLMP）, a prototype latency measuring framework based on the Link Layer Discovery Protocol （LLDP）. LLDP is utilized by the controller to discover network topology dynamically. We insert timestamps into the optional LLDPTLV field in LLDP, so that the controller can estimate latency on any single link. The framework utilizes a reactive measurement approach without injecting any probe packets to the network. Our experiments show that the latency of a link can be measured accurately by LLMP. In relatively complex network conditions, LLMP can still maintain a high accuracy. We store the LLMP measurement results into a latency matrix, which can be used to infer the path latency.展开更多
