Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) age is upon us. As we look to build larger networks with more devices connected to the Internet, the need for lightweight protocols that minimize the use of both energy and computation gain popularity. One such protocol is Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT). Since its introduction in 1999, it has slowly increased in use cases and gained a huge spike in popularity since it was used in the popular messaging application Facebook Messenger. In our previous works, we focused on adding geolocation to MQTT, to help modernize the protocol into the IoT age. In this paper, we build off our previous work on MQTTg and build an IoT Android Application that can pull geolocation information from the Operating System. We then use the geolocation data to create geofences to help further tailor the use cases of MQTTg.
