Abstract :

Earthquakes are usually associated with damage. Therefore, any action to predict it is necessary. In data monitoring systems, being real-time and accuracy of data play a key role. In this article, a monitoring system based on the Internet of Things was proposed for the messaging of seismic data. In the first solution, the lightweight protocol Message Queuing Telemetry Transfer (MQTT) was chosen for messaging. In the second solution, redundancy was applied in the sensor layer using the gray wolf algorithm, and in the third solution، redundancy was applied in the controller layer. The simulation results showed that the redundancy in the sensor and controller layer saved energy consumption by more than thirty percent. Also, the average end-to-end delay was significantly reduced in the second and third solutions. Finally، in the first solution, the rate of successful package delivery for different numbers of packages was a constant value of 78.98%. But by applying redundancy in the sensor and controller, the package delivery rate increased to over 92%, which can be the result of increasing the number of sensors and controllers and their proper placement.
