Comparative Study on MQTT and CoAP protocol for Healthcare Applications in Internet of Things

Authors: P. Anushree, M. Akshaya

Abstract: A major use case from an IoT spending perspective is setting a Healthcare facility. Connectivity plays an important role in Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, and handling of mobility, data transfer which has major role in the performance of IoT healthcare applications. Currently, adopted protocols for IoT and M2M environments are MQTT, CoAP. These protocols are directly dependent on the TCP/IP protocol suite. This suite is highly reliable forwired networks, but it is not the best solution in the presence of intermittent connections. This paper provides the solution for efficient data transfer by adapting MQTT and CoAP protocols for the healthcare application.
