SIM7028 MQTT Request Introduction

MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight, publish/subscribe model-based messaging protocol designed to provide reliable and efficient communication for IoT devices.

MQTT Request Components

  • Fixed Header: The fixed header of an MQTT message is a mandatory component in every message. It contains essential control information for message transmission, such as message type, Quality of Service (QoS) level, whether the topic should be retained, and more. The fixed header has a fixed length of one byte.

  • Variable Header: The variable header of an MQTT message is an optional part, and its length depends on the message type and specific operations. It contains control information related to the message type, such as connection flags and the QoS level of subscribed topics.

  • Topic Name: The topic name is a crucial part that identifies the message. When publishing a message, you need to specify a topic name, and subscribers use this topic name to receive messages of interest. Topic names are typically encoded using UTF-8.

  • Payload: The payload is the actual data content being transmitted. For published messages, the payload is the data you want to send, and for subscribed messages, the payload is the data received from the publisher. The length of the payload can range from zero bytes up to the maximum message size limit.

MQTT Request Process

  • Establish connection:

    • The client establishes a connection with the MQTT broker using the TCP/IP protocol. MQTT defaults to using port 1883 for unencrypted connections or port 8883 for encrypted connections (via TLS/SSL).

    • Clients have the option to maintain a session, allowing them to recover previous subscriptions and publishing states after disconnecting.

  • Publishing Messages:

    • As a publisher, the client sends a PUBLISH message to publish a message on a specific topic.

    • The PUBLISH message consists of a fixed header, variable header, topic name and payload (message content).

    • After publishing a message, the MQTT broker delivers the message to subscribed clients based on their subscription information.

  • Subscribing to Topics:

    • As a subscriber, the client sends a SUBSCRIBE message to subscribe to specific topics.

    • The SUBSCRIBE message includes a fixed header, variable header, one or more topic filters and their corresponding Quality of Service (QoS) levels.

    • Subscribers can simultaneously subscribe to multiple topics.

  • Broker Confirmation of Subscriptions:

    • When the broker receives a subscription request, it will acknowledge the subscription and store the corresponding subscription information.

    • Subscribers can now receive messages published on the topics they subscribed to.

  • Receiving Messages:

    • When a new message is published to a topic subscribed by a client, the MQTT broker will send the message to the subscriber.

    • Upon receiving the message, the subscriber can process the payload and take appropriate actions.

  • Disconnecting:

    • After completing communication, clients (publishers or subscribers) can choose to disconnect from the MQTT broker.

    • When disconnecting, clients have the option to retain the session, allowing them to preserve previous subscription and publishing states when reconnecting.

Log in to the platform, create a new device

  • To create a specific device, click Add to Device List and fill in the relevant data.

  • After the creation, the device is inactive, you can view the contents of the MQTT connection properties through the right address details.

  • The device attributes can be uploaded through the need to upload the data content to define the upload, here through a key to add the device that already has LED attributes.

Low-power Mode Details

NB-IoT technology supports three power-saving modes: PSM (Power Saving Mode), DRX (Discontinuous Reception Mode) and eDRX (Extended DRX). In NB-IoT, PSM (Power Saving Mode) and eDRX (Extended Discontinuous Reception) are used to save power. In PSM mode, the terminal doesn't need to actively listen for paging messages to check for downstream data. On the other hand, eDRX mode has longer paging cycles compared to DRX mode, which can result in longer latency and potentially affect the real-time nature of data transmission. The choice between PSM and eDRX depends on the capabilities and configurations of both the terminal device and the network.

Regarding capabilities, it's important not to configure network features that the terminal does not support. Additionally, the terminal's supported capabilities may vary depending on the specific network conditions.

No
Mode
Description

1

PSM

Extremely save power, and do not receive any data.

2

DRX

Regularly turn off network services to find the device at any time.

3

eDRX

eDRX can further reduce the power consumption of NB-IoT devices and extend battery life compared to the traditional DRX mode. However, at the same time, the device may delay when receiving data due to the longer cycle and shorter reception duration of eDRX.

PSM

In PSM (Power Saving Mode), the terminal does not actively check for paging data in the downlink. PSM mode remains active until either a Tracking Area Update (TAU) or uplink data transmission is required. T3412 indicates the tracking area update time, and T3324 indicates the timer that enters the PSM in IDLE mode.

OK

AT+CPSMS=0

Exit PSM mode

OK

DRX & eDRX

DRX (Discontinuous Reception Mode) can be considered a mode where downstream data can reach the terminal device at any time. Within each DRX cycle (typically set to 1.28 seconds, 2.56 seconds, 5.12 seconds, 10.24 seconds, etc.), the terminal checks for the arrival of downstream data. This mode is suitable for applications with relatively high latency requirements. Terminal devices in this mode are typically powered, such as those used in services like street lighting. Compared to DRX, eDRX (Extended DRX) has longer paging cycles, making the terminal more power-efficient. However, it also comes with longer downstream data latency (e.g., DRX values are 1.28 seconds, and 2.56 seconds, while eDRX values can go up to 20.48 seconds or even 2.9 hours). This makes it ideal for application scenarios where time constraints are not very high.

FAQ

Question:How does SIM7028 connect to AWS IoT?
  1. First check the firmware version of SIM7028, the firmware version is required to be at least 2110B08SIM7028.

  2. AWS IoT Core requires certificate-based two-way authentication. Of course, you can achieve self-authenticated access using AWS IoT Lambda functions. You can refer to the following steps for certificate-based access:

Question:How does SIM7028 access AWS IoT without using a certificate?

AWS IoT Core typically involves two-way authentication. AWS IoT provides a feature called Lambda functions to handle certificate-based authentication and access, similar to the concept of "one device, one secret" in the Alibaba Cloud IoT platform. However, Alibaba Cloud IoT uses cryptographic methods to address authentication, while AWS IoT Core primarily uses certificates for authentication, and the custom code through the function of lambda function returns the message sending logic judgment to the corresponding certificate of AWS IoT Core to confirm the connection. Here's how it works: <username\password> Authentification -> -> -> .

Question:Why do some of the codes not work after updating the firmware on SIM7028?

Firmware version 2110B08SIM7028 and above has modified the underlying logic, including the fact that after MQTT sends a message, it will clear the contents cached in the message body, so at this point, we should add another cache command to input the message body before requesting it.

Before TCP/IP communication, you should make sure the module's networking is normal according to and . SIM7082 module supports TCP and UDP communication, DNS analysis, and Ping function. (Note: Detailed description of AT commands can be found in , subsequent module firmware upgrade, the corresponding AT commands may be updated.)

AT+HTTPPARA=URL,

Provide test interface: [POST/GET]: /. Here is a simple application case, write POST and GET requests in a single endpoint, and use the "request.method" to differentiate and handle the request methods accordingly.

Here we mainly introduce the SIM7028 module and MQTT communication. For more details about AT commands, you can refer to

Note: the AT response time will be long as the result of the NB-IoT network problems when testing MQTT commands. Please be patient. For more details, you can refer to .

To adjust the jumper cap position to 'B' for the SIM7028 NB-IoT HAT board, please refer to the table below for the Raspberry Pi GPIO pin and module pin connections:
