MMQP: A Lightweight, Secure and Scalable IoT Communication Protocol

The ever-evolving Internet of Things (IoT) landscape necessitates continuous advancements in communication protocols to meet evolving requirements. In response, this paper introduces the Middleware Message Queuing Protocol (MMQP), an advance, binary, lightweight and secure IoT and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication protocol aimed at addressing the limitations of the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol. We present the design principles, core features, and unique advantages of MMQP in comparison to MQTT. Through practical analysis, we demonstrate MMQP’s potential to enhance IoT and M2M communication.
