MTC refers to communications between machines or devices without human intervention. These communications often involve massive numbers of devices, and the data exchanged is usually small and often periodic.
The rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial IoT (IIoT) has increased the importance of MTC to manage and monitor numerous devices efficiently.
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport):
MQTT is a lightweight messaging protocol designed for low-bandwidth, high-latency, or unreliable networks.
It operates on a publish/subscribe model where clients connect to a broker. Devices or applications publish messages to topics, and other devices or applications subscribe to those topics to receive messages.
MQTT uses a TCP/IP connection but is designed to minimize the amount of data transmitted, making it suitable for MTC applications.
