The increasing IoT applications require new properties of publish/subscribe communication model, for example, strict quality of service(Qo S) guarantees, supporting a large number of widely distributed devices, etc. Software Defined Networking(SDN) enables personalized programming and individualized QoS supports for different applications. The combination of the two will have a good prospect. In this paper, we present an IoT-oriented communication platform which combines the publish/subscribe paradigm with SDN, aiming at establishing an IoT ecosystem to facilitate IoT services/applications accessing internet. We design the interaction logic of topic-based publish/subscribe middleware, and describe the setup and maintenance of topology information as well as event routing in detail, considering the characteristics of SDN. Finally, we exemplify its practicability with a deployed District Heating Control and Information Service System(DHCISS) and validity the effectiveness with some experiments.展开更多

Software Defined Networking(SDN) gives a new dimension to improve QoS(Quality of Service) as it can benefit from its flexibility, programmability and centralized view. In this paper, we provide delay-guaranteed data transmission service instead of "best efforts" service for a topic-based publish/subscribe system by means of exploring these specific features of SDN. We attribute this routing problem in such conditions to Delay-Constraint Lowest Cost Steiner Tree(DCLCST) problem. To solve it, we compute the shortest delay paths from source node to every subscribe node and the shortest cost paths from every subscribe node to any other node using dijkstra algorithm. Then we construct a delay-constraint least cost steiner tree for per-topic based on these paths as multicast tree. We also present experimental results to demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithms and methods we proposed.展开更多

This kind of capability could be well ex-ploited by Peer-To-Peer (P2P) systems, Internet-wide as long as private ones, like in Public Safety or Civil Protection Communication Systems;but Pub/Sub specifications, and DDS/RTPS (Real Time Publish Sub-scribe) as well, usually do not provide Authentication & Authorization (AA) mechanisms. In the present work two important novelties are assessed: a possible scheme to implement AA in DDS/RTPS networks and a time performance evaluation study about embedded Authentication in RTPS.展开更多

Mem- ory can be efficiently used by sharing data, and the life-time of a battery can be extended, when the node has long power saving sleep-phases. We propose a publish/subscribe architecture that achieves these two aims. The results of our work are of great interest for sensor application developers, giving them now the opportu- nity to use our architecture for sharing data among different applications on the node as well as the different layers of the operating system. We introduce a blackboard which is used for centrally storing published val- ues, like measured data from a monitored sensor. This makes it possible to share stored data without monitoring the sensors once again, which is advantageously concerning power consumption, memory space, and reaction time. Beside the proposed publish/subscribe method for sensor nodes with its notification possibili- ties, our architecture fulfills also real-time requirements. We show how the well-known sensor operating system MANTIS OS can be extended by a real-time enabled, blackboard-based publish/subscribe architect- ture. This architecture and first of all its implementation is of special interest for cross layer optimization of sensor applications. Cross-layer approaches benefit from our architecture because the available implementa- tion can be used as an efficient framework for central storing and managing of shared values.展开更多

We provide an overview of the WS-Notification specification and describe a modified publish and subscribe model based on WS-Notification. The model is an adaptive policy-driven notification framework that can help enterprises to meet the flexibility and respon-siveness requirements of the enterprise. With the modified publish/subscribe model, information consumers can dy-namically and declaratively create and configure entities on their behalves to manage their distribution requirements.展开更多

Currently, the 5.9 GHz Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) and 4G-Long-Term Evolution (LTE) are available for connected vehicle services. But both have limitations in reliability or latency over large scale field operational tests and deployment. This paper proposes the device-to-device (D2D) connectivity framework based on publish-subscribe architecture, with Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol. With the publish-subscribe communication paradigm, road mobile users can exchange data and information in moderate latency and high reliability manner, having the potential to support many Vehicle to Everything (V2X) applications, including vehicle to vehicle (V2V), vehicle to roadside infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle to bicycle (V2B). The D2D data exchanges also facilitate computing for absolute and relative precise real-time kinematic (RTK) posi-tioning. Vehicular experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed publish-subscribe MQTT protocols in term of latency and reliability. The latency of data exchanges is measured by One-trip-time (OTT) and the reliability is measured by the packet loss rate (PLR). Our results show that the latency of GNSS raw data exchanges between vehicles through 4G cellular networks at the rate of 10 Hz and the data rates of 10 kbps are less than 300 ms while the reliability is over 96%. Vehicular positioning experiments have also shown that vehicles can exchange raw GNSS data and complete mov-ing-base RTK positioning with the positioning availability of 98%.展开更多
