1. What is MQTT?
MQTT is a lightweight message queueing and transport protocol.
MQTT, as its name implies, is suited for the transport of telemetry data (sensor and actor data).
MQTT is very lightweight and thus suited for M2M (Mobile to Mobile), WSN (Wireless Sensor
Networks) and ultimately IoT (Internet of Things) scenarios where sensor and actor nodes
communicate with applications through the MQTT message broker.
Example:
Light sensor continuously sends
sensor data to the broker.
Building control application
receives sensor data
from the broker and
decides to activate
the blinds.
Application sends a blind
activation message to
the blind actor node
through the broker.

2. MQTT characteristics
MQTT Key features:
• Lightweight message queueing and transport protocol
• Asynchronous communication model with messages (events)
• Low overhead (2 bytes header) for low network bandwidth applications
• Publish / Subscribe (PubSub) model
• Decoupling of data producer (publisher) and data consumer (subscriber) through topics
(message queues)
• Simple protocol, aimed at low complexity, low power and low footprint implementations (e.g.
WSN - Wireless Sensor Networks)
• Runs on connection-oriented transport (TCP). To be used in conjunction with 6LoWPAN
(TCP header compression)
• MQTT caters for (wireless) network disruptions

3. Origins and future of MQTT standard
The past, present and future of MQTT:
MQTT was initially developed by IBM and Eurotech.
The previous protocol version 3.1 was made available under http://mqtt.org/.
In 2014, MQTT was adopted and published as an official standard by OASIS (published V3.1.1).
As such, OASIS has become the new home for the development of MQTT.
The OASIS TC (Technical Committee) is tasked with the further development of MQTT.
Version 3.1.1 of MQTT is backward compatible with 3.1 and brought only minor changes:
• Changes restricted to the CONNECT message
• Clarification of version 3.1 (mostly editorial changes)

4. MQTT model (2/3)
MQTT client (=publisher, subscriber):
Clients subscribe to topics to publish and receive messages.
Thus subscriber and publisher are special roles of a client.
MQTT server (=broker):
Servers run topics, i.e. receive subscriptions from clients on topics, receive messages from
clients and forward these, based on client’s subscriptions, to interested clients.
Topic:
Technically, topics are message queues. Topics support the publish/subscribe pattern for
clients.
Logically, topics allow clients to exchange information with defined semantics.
Example topic: Temperature sensor data of a building.

4. MQTT model (3/3)
Session:
A session identifies a (possibly temporary) attachment of a client to a server. All
communication between client and server takes place as part of a session.
Subscription:
Unlike sessions, a subscription logically attaches a client to a topic. When subscribed to a
topic, a client can exchange messages with a topic.
Subscriptions can be «transient» or «durable», depending on the clean session flag in the
CONNECT message:
Message:
Messages are the units of data exchange between topic clients.
MQTT is agnostic to the internal structure of messages.
«Transient» subscription ends with session:
Messages M3 and M4 are not received by the client
«Durable» subscription:
Messages M2, M4 and M5 are not lost but will be received by
the client as soon as it creates / opens a new session.

5. MQTT message format (1/14)
Message format:
MQTT messages contain a mandatory fixed-length header (2 bytes) and an optional message-
specific variable length header and message payload.
Optional fields usually complicate protocol processing.
However, MQTT is optimized for bandwidth constrained and unreliable networks (typically
wireless networks), so optional fields are used to reduce data transmissions as much as
possible.
MQTT uses network byte and bit ordering.

7: PUBCOMP 15: Reserved
DUP Duplicate message flag. Indicates to the receiver that this message may have already been received.
1: Client or server (broker) re-delivers a PUBLISH, PUBREL, SUBSCRIBE or UNSUBSCRIBE message
(duplicate message).
QoS Level Indicates the level of delivery assurance of a PUBLISH message.
0: At-most-once delivery, no guarantees, «Fire and Forget».
1: At-least-once delivery, acknowledged delivery.
2: Exactly-once delivery.
Further details see MQTT QoS.
RETAIN 1: Instructs the server to retain the last received PUBLISH message and deliver it as a first message to new
subscriptions.
Further details see RETAIN (keep last message).
Remaining Length Indicates the number of remaining bytes in the message, i.e. the length of the (optional) variable length header
and (optional) payload.
Further details see Remaining length (RL).

5. MQTT message format (3/14)
RETAIN (keep last message):
RETAIN=1 in a PUBLISH message instructs the server to keep the message for this topic.
When a new client subscribes to the topic, the server sends the retained message.
Typical application scenarios:
Clients publish only changes in data, so subscribers receive the last known good value.
Example:
Subscribers receive last known temperature value from the temperature data topic.
RETAIN=1 indicates to subscriber B that the message may have been published some time ago.

5. MQTT message format (4/14)
Remaining length (RL):
The remaining length field encodes the sum of the lengths of:
a. (Optional) variable length header
b. (Optional) payload
To save bits, remaining length is a variable length field with 1…4 bytes.
The most significant bit of a length field byte has the meaning «continuation bit» (CB). If more
bytes follow, it is set to 1.
Remaining length is encoded as a * 1280 + b * 1281 + c * 1282 + d * 1283 and placed into the RL
field bytes as follows:
Example 1: RL = 364 = 108*1280+2*1281  a=108, CB0=1, b=2, CB1=0, c=0, d=0, CB2=0
Example 2: RL = 25’897 = 41*1280 + 74*1281 + 1*1282  a=41, CB0=1, b=74, CB1=1, c=1, CB2=0, d=0
aCB0
bCB1

Byte 0 = LSB (a * 1280, CB0=1 if b > 0)
Byte 1 (b * 1281, CB1=1 if c > 0)
Byte 2 (c * 1282, CB2=1 if d > 0)
Byte 3 = MSB (d * 1283)
Key:
LSB: Least Significant Byte

Overview CONNECT message fields:
CONNECT message field Description / Values
Protocol Name UTF-8 encoded protocol name string.
Example: «Light_Protocol»
Protocol Version Value 3 for MQTT V3.
Username Flag If set to 1 indicates that payload contains a username.
Password Flag If set to 1 indicates that payload contains a password.
If username flag is set, password flag and password must be set as well.
Will Retain If set to 1 indicates to server that it should retain a Will message for the client which is published in case the
client disconnects unexpectedly.
Will QoS Specifies the QoS level for a Will message.
Will Flag Indicates that the message contains a Will message in the payload along with Will retain and Will QoS flags.
More details see MQTT will message.
Clean Session If set to 1, the server discards any previous information about the (re)-connecting client (clean new session).
If set to 0, the server keeps the subscriptions of a disconnecting client including storing QoS level 1 and 2
messages for this client. When the client reconnects, the server publishes the stored messages to the client.
Keep Alive Timer Used by the server to detect broken connections to the client.
More details see Keepalive timer.
Client Identifier The client identifier (between 1 and 23 characters)uniquely identifies the client to the server. The client
identifier must be unique across all clients connecting to a server.
Will Topic Will topic to which a will message is published if the will flag is set.
Will Message Will message to be puslished if will flag is set.
Username and Password Username and password if the corresponding flags are set.

6. MQTT QoS (1/2)
MQTT provides the typical delivery quality of service (QoS) levels of message oriented
middleware.
Even though TCP/IP provides guaranteed data delivery, data loss can still occur if a TCP
connection breaks down and messages in transit are lost.
Therefore MQTT adds 3 quality of service levels on top of TCP.
QoS level 0:
At-most-once delivery («best effort»).
Messages are delivered according to the delivery guarantees of the underlying network
(TCP/IP).
Example application: Temperature sensor data which is regularly published. Loss of an
individual value is not critical since applications (consumers of the data) will anyway integrate
the values over time and loss of individual samples is not relevant.

At-least-once delivery
Exactly-once delivery
Increasing level

24/33
Rev. 2.10
MQTT – MQ Telemetry Transport peteregli.net
6. MQTT QoS (2/2)
QoS level 1:
At-lest-once delivery. Messages are guaranteed to arrive, but there may be duplicates.
Example application: A door sensor senses the door state. It is important that door state
changes (closedopen, openclosed) are published losslessly to subscribers (e.g. alarming
function). Applications simply discard duplicate messages by evaluating the message ID field.
QoS level 2:
Exactly-once delivery.
This is the highest level that also incurs most overhead in terms of control messages and the
need for locally storing the messages.
Exactly-once is a combination of at-least-once and at-most-once delivery guarantee.
Example application: Applications where duplicate events could lead to incorrect actions, e.g.
sounding an alarm as a reaction to an event received by a message.

9. Keep alive timer, breath of live with PINGREQ
The keep alive timer defines the maximum allowable time interval between client messages.
The timer is used by the server to check client’s connection status.
After 1.5 * keepalive-time is elapsed, the server disconnects the client (client is granted a grace
period of an additional 0.5 keepalive-time).
In the absence of data to be sent, the client sends a PINGREQ message instead.
Typical value for keepalive timer are a couple of minutes.
No data to publish, client
sends PINGREQ instead

10. MQTT will message
Problem:
In case of an unexpected client disconnect, depending applications (subscribers) do not
receive any notification of the client’s demise.
MQTT solution:
Client can specify a will message along with a will QoS and will retain flag in the CONNECT
message payload.
If the client unexpectedly disconnects, the server sends the will message on behalf of the client
to all subscribers («last will»).
CONNECT
Will flag = 1, Will QoS = {1,2,3}
Will retain = {0,1}1

11. Topic wildcards
Problem:
Subscribers are often interested in a great number of topics.
Individually subscribing to each named topic is time- and resource-consuming.
MQTT solution:
Topics can be hierarchically organized through wildcards with path-type topic strings and the
wildcard characters ‘+’ and ‘#’.
Subscribers can subscribe for an entire sub-tree of topics thus receiving messages published
to any of the sub-tree’s nodes.
Topic string
special
character
Description
/ Topic level separator.
Example:
building / floor-1 / sensors / temperature
+ Single level wildcard. Matches one topic level.

12. MQTT-SN (1/2)
WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) usually do not have TCP/IP as transport layer. They have
their own protocol stack such as ZigBee on top of IEEE 802.15.4 MAC layer. Thus, MQTT which
is based on TCP/IP cannot be directly run on WSNs.
Typically, WSNs are connected to traditional TCP/IP networks through gateway devices.
MQTT-SN (SN = Sensor Network) is an extension of MQTT for WSNs.
MQTT-SN is aimed at constrained low-end devices, usually running on a batttery, such as
ZigBee devices.

12. MQTT-SN (2/2)
MQTT-SN is a largely based on MQTT, but implements some important optimizations for
wireless networks:
• Topic string replaced by a topic ID (fewer bytes necessary)
• Predefined topic IDs that do not require a registration
• Discovery procedure for clients to find brokers (no need to statically configure broker
addresses)
• Persistent will message (in addition to persistent subscriptions)
• Off-line keepalive supporting sleeping clients (will receive buffered messages from the
server once they wake up)
MQTT-SN gateways (transparent or aggregating) connect MQTT-SN domains (WSNs) with MQTT
domains (traditional TCP/IP based networks).

  • 3. © Peter R. Egli 2017 3/33 Rev. 2.10 MQTT – MQ Telemetry Transport peteregli.net 1. What is MQTT? MQTT is a lightweight message queueing and transport protocol. MQTT, as its name implies, is suited for the transport of telemetry data (sensor and actor data). MQTT is very lightweight and thus suited for M2M (Mobile to Mobile), WSN (Wireless Sensor Networks) and ultimately IoT (Internet of Things) scenarios where sensor and actor nodes communicate with applications through the MQTT message broker. Example: Light sensor continuously sends sensor data to the broker. Building control application receives sensor data from the broker and decides to activate the blinds. Application sends a blind activation message to the blind actor node through the broker. TCP/IP based network (wired, wireless) App MQTT Broker App App Sensor Node App Actor Node Application
  • 4. © Peter R. Egli 2017 4/33 Rev. 2.10 MQTT – MQ Telemetry Transport peteregli.net 2. MQTT characteristics MQTT Key features: • Lightweight message queueing and transport protocol • Asynchronous communication model with messages (events) • Low overhead (2 bytes header) for low network bandwidth applications • Publish / Subscribe (PubSub) model • Decoupling of data producer (publisher) and data consumer (subscriber) through topics (message queues) • Simple protocol, aimed at low complexity, low power and low footprint implementations (e.g. WSN - Wireless Sensor Networks) • Runs on connection-oriented transport (TCP). To be used in conjunction with 6LoWPAN (TCP header compression) • MQTT caters for (wireless) network disruptions Publisher Broker Topic Subscriber Topic Topic Publisher Subscriber Subscriber 1 2 1 1 3 3 2 2 4 4
  • 5. © Peter R. Egli 2017 5/33 Rev. 2.10 MQTT – MQ Telemetry Transport peteregli.net 3. Origins and future of MQTT standard The past, present and future of MQTT: MQTT was initially developed by IBM and Eurotech. The previous protocol version 3.1 was made available under http://mqtt.org/. In 2014, MQTT was adopted and published as an official standard by OASIS (published V3.1.1). As such, OASIS has become the new home for the development of MQTT. The OASIS TC (Technical Committee) is tasked with the further development of MQTT. Version 3.1.1 of MQTT is backward compatible with 3.1 and brought only minor changes: • Changes restricted to the CONNECT message • Clarification of version 3.1 (mostly editorial changes) MQTT V3.1 MQTT V3.1.1

MQTT model (2/3) MQTT client (=publisher, subscriber): Clients subscribe to topics to publish and receive messages. Thus subscriber and publisher are special roles of a client. MQTT server (=broker): Servers run topics, i.e. receive subscriptions from clients on topics, receive messages from clients and forward these, based on client’s subscriptions, to interested clients. Topic: Technically, topics are message queues. Topics support the publish/subscribe pattern for clients. Logically, topics allow clients to exchange information with defined semantics. Example topic: Temperature sensor data of a building. Publisher SubscriberTopic Client SubscriberPublisher
  • 8. © Peter R. Egli 2017 8/33 Rev. 2.10 MQTT – MQ Telemetry Transport peteregli.net 4. MQTT model (3/3) Session: A session identifies a (possibly temporary) attachment of a client to a server. All communication between client and server takes place as part of a session. Subscription: Unlike sessions, a subscription logically attaches a client to a topic. When subscribed to a topic, a client can exchange messages with a topic. Subscriptions can be «transient» or «durable», depending on the clean session flag in the CONNECT message: Message: Messages are the units of data exchange between topic clients. MQTT is agnostic to the internal structure of messages. «Transient» subscription ends with session: Messages M3 and M4 are not received by the client «Durable» subscription: Messages M2, M4 and M5 are not lost but will be received by the client as soon as it creates / opens a new session.

MQTT message format (1/14) Message format: MQTT messages contain a mandatory fixed-length header (2 bytes) and an optional message- specific variable length header and message payload. Optional fields usually complicate protocol processing. However, MQTT is optimized for bandwidth constrained and unreliable networks (typically wireless networks), so optional fields are used to reduce data transmissions as much as possible. MQTT uses network byte and bit ordering.

MQTT message format (3/14) RETAIN (keep last message): RETAIN=1 in a PUBLISH message instructs the server to keep the message for this topic. When a new client subscribes to the topic, the server sends the retained message. Typical application scenarios: Clients publish only changes in data, so subscribers receive the last known good value. Example: Subscribers receive last known temperature value from the temperature data topic. RETAIN=1 indicates to subscriber B that the message may have been published some time ago.

MQTT QoS (1/2) MQTT provides the typical delivery quality of service (QoS) levels of message oriented middleware. Even though TCP/IP provides guaranteed data delivery, data loss can still occur if a TCP connection breaks down and messages in transit are lost. Therefore MQTT adds 3 quality of service levels on top of TCP. QoS level 0: At-most-once delivery («best effort»). Messages are delivered according to the delivery guarantees of the underlying network (TCP/IP). Example application: Temperature sensor data which is regularly published. Loss of an individual value is not critical since applications (consumers of the data) will anyway integrate the values over time and loss of individual samples is not relevant. QoS level of network (TCP/IP) QoS level 0 QoS level 1 QoS level 2 Best effort At-most-once delivery (=best effort) At-least-once delivery Exactly-once delivery Increasing level of QoS
  • 24. © Peter R. Egli 2017 24/33 Rev. 2.10 MQTT – MQ Telemetry Transport peteregli.net 6. MQTT QoS (2/2) QoS level 1: At-lest-once delivery. Messages are guaranteed to arrive, but there may be duplicates. Example application: A door sensor senses the door state. It is important that door state changes (closedopen, openclosed) are published losslessly to subscribers (e.g. alarming function). Applications simply discard duplicate messages by evaluating the message ID field. QoS level 2: Exactly-once delivery. This is the highest level that also incurs most overhead in terms of control messages and the need for locally storing the messages. Exactly-once is a combination of at-least-once and at-most-once delivery guarantee. Example application: Applications where duplicate events could lead to incorrect actions, e.g. sounding an alarm as a reaction to an event received by a message.

Individually subscribing to each named topic is time- and resource-consuming. MQTT solution: Topics can be hierarchically organized through wildcards with path-type topic strings and the wildcard characters ‘+’ and ‘#’. Subscribers can subscribe for an entire sub-tree of topics thus receiving messages published to any of the sub-tree’s nodes. Topic string special character Description / Topic level separator. Example: building / floor-1 / sensors / temperature + Single level wildcard. Matches one topic level. Examples: building / floor-1 / + (matches building / floor-1 / blinds and building / floor-1 / sensors) building / + / sensors (matches building / floor-1 / sensors and building / floor-2 / sensors) # Multi level wildcard. Matches multiple topic levels. Examples: building / floor-1 / # (matches all nodes under building / floor-1) building / # / sensors (invalid, ‘#’ must be last character in topic string) building floor-1 blinds sensors temperaturelight floor-2 Example topic tree:

They have their own protocol stack such as ZigBee on top of IEEE 802.15.4 MAC layer. Thus, MQTT which is based on TCP/IP cannot be directly run on WSNs. Typically, WSNs are connected to traditional TCP/IP networks through gateway devices. MQTT-SN (SN = Sensor Network) is an extension of MQTT for WSNs.
