Diseño e implementación de una red de acceso a servicios de realidad virtual orientado al IOT.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to develop and implement a network for accessing virtual reality services with a focus on the Internet of Things (IoT). The study addressed the question of whether implementing an IoT-oriented network could enhance the efficiency of accessing virtual reality (VR) services. The Quantitative methodology was employed to assess the network's performance. Initially, a literature review of IoT protocols and infrastructures identified and understood their suitability relative to others. Following that, the network structure was outlined and established, emphasizing on meeting the requirements for accessing VR services. In the evaluation, the MQTT performance (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) protocol was contrasted with the HTTP protocol in two separate systems. Both systems shared the same network structure but were programmed to operate with their respective protocols. Additionally, WebSocket addresses real-time interactions in the HTTP system. Performance parameters were gathered using both protocols in the virtual reality environment. The results demonstrated that MQTT exhibited superior overall performance compared to HTTP under similar conditions, although it showed notable similarity to WebSocket. Concerning sending specific data points, MQTT surpassed HTTP by 42% in bandwidth usage, 2.61% in Round-Trip Times (RTT), and demonstrated error percentages close to zero. In contrast, HTTP exhibited a 2% error rate. In conclusion, for VR applications necessitating real-time communication and transmission efficiency, MQTT and WebSocket protocols emerge as preferable options over HTTP.
