Implementasi pull message dengan menggunakan restful web service pada komunikasi wireless sensor

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) infrastructure has very high scalability, which is composed of a large number of the sensor node. For cost efficiency, sensor node broadly deployed using Arduino. Arduino is the open-source electronic circuit board, which has embedded microcontroller chipset. Due to limited resource, the efficiency of computation inside Arduino must be considered during the development of sensor node. One of them is related to communication and data delivery process between the sensor node and sink node. Restful Web Service is one of communication protocol framework which uses HTTP protocol and claimed to be the most efficient Web Service. As well as the other web services, Restful also support high interoperability of communication. In this paper we describe the implementation of pull message mechanism on WSN communication between the sensor node and sink node, using Restful Web Service. We implemented sensor node using Arduino board, and sink node using Raspberry Pi. We also used thread mechanism to handle multi-process that run in the sensor node. The results of the study show that the interval time in sensing, data size, and the number of sink node which makes requests, didn’t give too much influence in the availability of free memory heap in the sensor node. While the size of sensor data that was sent to sink node have an influence on a request-response time.
