MQTT-SN Pass-Through Concept

[ctm]

MQTT-SN Pass-Through Concept is proposed for very constraint networks.

1  Architecture

-------------------

 - sensors on a multidrop RS485 or NCN5150 network;

(the sensors use the complete MQTT-SN message)

 - simple Lantronix or GPRS serial to UDP converter;

(the converter only puts the MQTT-SN message in UDP packet)

 - MQTT-SN gateway;

(the gateway must remember the location of the sensor in the IP network)

 - MQTT broker.

2 Advantages

------------------

 - low cost sensors on RS485 network is simple to install and wire;

(or NCN5150 is even simpler)

 - low cost and off-the-shelf serial to UDP converters available;

(stateless and no configuration)

 - complexity only in MQTT-SN gateway and maybe only one required in installation;

(remote service where GPRS is used)

 - features of MQTT available.

3 Challanges

------------------

MQTT-SN Pass-Through is it standard or are changes required?

Is there a standard way required to set MQTT-SN Gateway IP addresses so that no configuration is required?

Can we use the internet gateway to catch and redirect all messages on a certain port?

Do we need to configure and poll the converters?

Is the MQTT-SN gateway required?

4 Way forward

-------------------

What is the next step?

Where can we document and discuss this?
