Abstract

The increasing number of IoT deployment scenarios and applications fostered the development of a multitude of specially crafted communication solutions, several proprietary, which are erecting barriers to IoT interoperability, impairing their pervasiveness. To address such problems, several middleware solutions exist to standardize IoT communications, hence promoting and facilitating interoperability. Although being increasingly adopted in most IoT systems, it became clear that there was no “one size fits all” solution that could address the multiple Quality-of-Service heterogeneous IoT systems may impose. Consequently, we witness new interoperability challenges regarding the usage of diverse middleware. In this work, we address this issue by proposing a novel architecture - the PolyglIoT, that can effectively interconnect diverse middleware solutions while considering the delivery QoS requirements alongside the proposed translation. We analyze the performance and robustness of the solution and show that such Multiprotocol Translator is feasible and can achieve a high performance, thus becoming a fundamental piece to enable future highly heterogeneous IoT systems of systems.
