“…Even though there are different gateways available on the market (see, for example, [9]), they typically present relevant drawbacks, such as: high costs; limited communication interfaces available on the devices; and, most of all, "closed source" nature. This "closeness" prevents: the introduction of new routing/communication/processing features; the connection of new communication interfaces; and the implementation of complex network scenarios-e.g., with intelligent routing policies based on traffic offloading, as well as enhanced decision mechanisms (e.g., through the adoption of traffic engineering paradigms [10,11]).…”

Given the massive deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) applications over the last decade, the need for gateways able to efficiently route information flows across multiple heterogeneous networks has emerged, bringing new challenges. Therefore, the design and implementation of IoT gateways is crucial. In this paper, with reference to the architecture of a prototypical Multi-Interface Gateway (MIG) (based on Commercial-Off-The-Shelf, COTS, devices), we evaluate its performance: (i) analytically, through an innovative Markov chain-based model; (ii) by simulation, with a Python simulator; (iii) experimentally, through the (starting) COTS device-based prototype. In detail, the MIG is equipped with heterogeneous wireless communication interfaces (namely LoRaWAN, BLE, cellular 4G Cat. 4, and IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz) and is applicable to multiple IoT scenarios. The obtained simulation and experimental results show the validity of the proposed analytical model. Further improvements of the proposed framework are eventually discussed.

Internet of Things (IoT) technologies have become a milestone advancement in the digital healthcare domain, since the number of IoT medical devices is grown exponentially, and it is now anticipated that by 2020, there will be over 161 million of them connected worldwide. Therefore, in an era of continuous growth, IoT healthcare faces various challenges, such as the collection over multiple protocols (e.g. Bluetooth, MQTT, CoAP, ZigBEE, etc.) the interpretation, as well as the harmonization of the data format that derive from the existing huge amounts of heterogeneous IoT medical devices. In this respect, this study aims at proposing an advanced Home Gateway architecture that offers a unique data collection module, supporting direct data acquisition over multiple protocols (i.e.BLE, MQTT) and indirect data retrieval from cloud health services (i.e. GoogleFit). Moreover, the solution propose a mechanism to automatically convert the original data format, carried over BLE, in HL7 FHIR by exploiting device capabilities semantic annotation implemented by means of FHIR resource as well. The adoption of such annotation enables the dynamic plug of new sensors within the instrumented environment without the need to stop and adapt the gateway. This simplifies the dynamic devices landscape customization requested by the several telemedicine applications contexts (e.g. CVD, Diabetes) and demonstrate, for the first time, a concrete example of using the FHIR standard not only (as usual) for health resources representation and storage but also as instrument to enable seamless integration of IoT devices. The proposed solution also relies on mobile phone technology which is widely adopted aiming at reducing any obstacle for a larger adoption.

“…Oniga et al in [14] developed a Multi-Protocol Gateway that is capable of receiving two-way signals from two different communication protocols, i.e LoRa and Bluetooth Low Energy so that both of these protocols can be received by one gateway device. The gateway will also act as a bridge between the device and the network server when operating through these two protocols.…”

 Abstract: One of the main problems on the Internet of Things is heterogeneity. One of them is diversity in communication protocols. Generally, we will need one gateway for each existing protocol which causes inefficient communication networks. With these problems, we propose to build a hybrid network infrastructure using the Multi-Protocol Gateway system, this allows existing gateways to accept more than one protocol. This system is divided into two parts, hardware and software. For hardware systems, we use a single board processor equipped with the necessary transceiver modules. Our software system uses Python scripts to manage all backend processes, MySQL as data storage, PHP as a web server and Progressive Web Application (PWA) web application so that all devices get the same experience. We also provide a dashboard on the gateway to show and ensure that all data from different protocols can be received simultaneously in real-time. As a result, the gateway we developed can receive all data from four different protocols. We also evaluate the performance of the gateway by testing hardware capabilities by measuring the transmit time and Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR). The result shows that all communication protocols show compliance with existing hardware specifications. In addition, we also test the load time performance of the PWA service and compare it to non-PWA. The load time on PWA is smaller than that of non-PWA, due to the fact that PWA has offline capabilities that can store caches temporarily so that the next load time will be lighter. Using hybrid network infrastructure with Multi-Protocol Gateway is the answer to the problem of the diversity of protocols that we often find in the implementation of IoT such as smart building, smart city and other smart environments, with the existence of this Multi-Protocol Gatewaycan make communication services in the IoT structure to be more efficient.
