Abstract

IoT gateway is a core module exists in many of the IoT architectures that plays a role to connect WSNs to the internet, or specifically to the Cloud. However, conventional internet gateway is not sufficient to be IoT gateway. One of the most critical issue faced by IoT gateway is unstable internet connection especially when using cellular network. This work proposes that IoT gateway should have temporary storage to mask network issue. The objective of this work is to find out the most efficient solution for IoT gateway with temporary storage based on the elements of hardware, scheduler and storage method including database versus flat file on Raspberry Pi and NAND flash. From our experimental results, we found that the most efficient solution for temporary storage in IoT Gateway is using 4-threaded flat file I/O with Deadline scheduler.
