MIOT framework, general purpose internet of things gateway using smartphone

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an integrated system consists of several components linking each other. A framework is often used to fasten the development of an IoT system. This paper presents MIOT, a general purpose gateway framework which utilizes a Smartphone as the main component to handle communication between IoT device and the Internet. MIOT provides a bidirectional end-to-end communication gateway for Smartphone to link the IoT device and the Internet. For evaluation purpose, two implementations of IoT prototypes are built: an environmental monitoring and a remote controller (RC) car. The implementation of both prototypes demonstrates faster development times and quick response times in data transfer. MIOT framework helps reduces time, effort, and learning overhead on building and deploying IoT systems. The use of Smartphone as the gateway in MIOT offers a trade-off between easiness, latency, and reducing IoT devices workload.
