IEEE 1451 has been around for almost 20 years and in that time it has seen many changes in the world of smart sensors. One of the most distinct paradigms to arise was the Internet-of-Things and with it, the popularity of light-weight and simple to implement communication protocols. One of these protocols in particular, MQ Telemetry Transport has become synonymous with large cloud service providers such as Amazon Web Services, IBM Watson, and Microsoft Azure, along with countless other services. While MQTT had be traditionally used in controlled networks within server centers, the simplicity of the protocol has caused it to be utilized on the open internet. Now being called the language of the IoT, it seems obvious that any standard that is aiming to bring a common network service layer to the IoT architecture should be able to utilize MQTT. This paper proposes potential methodologies to extend the Common Architectures and Network services found in the IEEE 1451 Family of Standard into applications which utilize MQTT.
