A Containerized Integrated Fast IoT Platform for Low Energy Power Management

Internet of Things (IoT) includes technologies that fit applications and smart devices together to build an ecosystem. IoT has influenced the communication and information world. A large number of connected devices, connected devices heterogeneity, latency, high availability, the security of communication, and latency are IoT challenges. IoT platforms integrate devices, users, and applications to tackle these challenges. In this paper, we design an IoT platform and compare it to the related work based on throughput, memory and CPU usage, and response time. The architecture of the proposed method is modular. Thus, flexibility and scalability will be increased because each module can be removed or added to the architecture. Public cloud proposes general services, but the proposed method is application-specific based on what the customers need. The proposed method’s novelty is using device management and user management in the system as the module. Another novelty of the proposed method is using TDengine as the database for the platform. Thus, by using TDengine as a database and using user management and device management in the system, latency will be reduced as latency is an important challenge in power energy. As we make the platform, it can be used in the edge layer because we can add each module needed. The platform is tested and deployed on different scenarios, and the implementation shows that our method’s resource usage and performance are better than the related work.
