Example Concept: MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight messaging protocol that operates over TCP/IP and is ideal for minimizing latency in IoT communications. It uses a publish/subscribe model, which reduces the overhead of direct device-to-device communication by allowing devices to send messages to a broker, which then distributes them to subscribed clients. This model is efficient for scenarios where devices need to communicate asynchronously and with minimal delay.
