Abstract:
Interoperability between smart devices and applications across multiple architectures, platforms and communication technologies is a key challenge for the future Internet of Things (IoT). Many IoT open platforms are being developed to overcome this issue, such as the AllJoyn™ framework specified by the AllSeen industrial alliance. Due to heavy resource constraints, however, it's not always a feasible option to run such framework on low-power devices, where other mature technologies like, e.g., the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), are already successfully applied. In this work we present the design and open-source implementation of an application acting as a transparent bridge between AllJoyn and CoAP networks. The bridge leverages advanced CoAP features, i.e., caching and resource observation, for efficiency and scalability, and provides AllJoyn applications with a rich low-level interface to interact with multiple CoAP servers hosting CoAP resources. The implementation has been extensively validated in a real test case, and proved to properly work in a transparent manner.
