Minimization of Latency for Internet of Things (IoT) in Remote Weather Monitoring System

Abstract

This paper developed an IOT system with the aim of providing an easy and efficient way of monitoring climatic parameters like temperature and humidity using the Thingspeak platform. It is a relatively low cost with low power consuming system which can be deployed in various environment and remotely monitor these parameters at different time and from any part of the world if made public. The data collected was therefore analysed and visualized with the average humidity and temperature calculated. This paper was able to develop a model for estimating the delay pattern for the system. In developing the delay model for time of received packet this work adopted the least square regression method in developing the model. This model was later translated by substituting the values of the dependent variable and the independent variable with interval between the time of data transmitted ts and time the data was received td. The latency result which is the interval between the time of data transmitted ts and time the data was received td was 0.5377658274260 seconds.
