Table 1 Comparative analysis of terminal access methods

From: Alarm method of communication intelligent manhole cover based on multiple event fusion

Web platform

IoT cloud platform

Heartbeat packets every 2 min and waste resources

The terminal does not send the heartbeat packets and only one business interaction within 24 h is required, save the power consumption

The network congestion and packet loss for the massive device access

It can avoid the congestion and improve the reliability of the IoT systems

There is no asynchronous execution between web platform and terminal, increase the overhead and decrease the efficiency

It can cache the commands and wait for the results, issue the commands by the aware of the terminal state and ensure the reliability
