Avaliando a eficiência energética de uma conexão com a internet através do GPRS em um cenário IoT : um estudo de caso com o SIM800L e o Middleware Dojot

Abstract

Internet of Things composes a new paradigm, that has objective is to connect differents objects used daily to the world wide computer network, being they physical or virtual so that they interact and exchange information among themselves in an autonomous way. One of the main needs that emerges with the advancement of Information Technology is the search for information, therefore monitoring systems are fundamental to obtain information and understanding of events generated by a given environment, so that actions can be taken from these information. A crucial factor within the IoT scenario is the communication between these devices, an option that arises are the wireless networks that have as main advantages to be implemented quickly with low cost, but it presents as a disadvantage to be a means of communication sensitive to interference (for example: walls and trees) that may hinder communication between these devices, another factor that must be taken into account is the autonomy of the monitoring system. From this, this article presents a remote monitoring system based on Internet of Things that can be applied in different scenarios where GSM/GPRS technology is used to send information collected in the environment in real time. The system is intended to integrate an IoT platform with the use of GSM/GPRS technology, as well as to identify if this technology can be viable for monitoring environments.
