Wireless Sensor Networks gradually became a mature technology that enabled the implementation of a large number of critical applications. However, the integration of such networks in much more complex systems, such as IoT, still poses a major challenge. In this paper we present a viable solution to accomplish such a difficult task by using MQTT-SN to integrate critical real-time WSNs into an IoT platform. The core of our work is a platform independent real-time driver for MQTT-SN along with a communication architecture to enable the integration of low end devices into an MQTT network using MQTT-SN. We also describe a comprehensive practical demonstration using real hardware modules that validates our claimed solution.
