However, their performance is not as yet well understood. To address this issue, we evaluated and compared four communication protocols, namely, CoAP, MQTT, XMPP, and WebSocket. For this, we implemented a smart parking application using open source software for these protocols and measured their response time by varying the traffic load.}, booktitle={Proceedings of the 2017 20th conference on innovations in clouds, internet and networks (icin)}, author={Kayal, P. and Perros, H.}, year={2017}, pages={331–336} }
