Abstract(in English) In networks using LPWA and small IoT devices, it is important to suppress traffic because of the slow communication speed of LPWA. In the field of WSN, a communication volume reduction method using mobile agents has been proposed for the suppression of traffic in networks with IoT devices. However, these studies have not shown concrete implementations of mobile agents in small IoT devices. In addition, studies aiming at implementing mobile agents in small IoT devices do not discuss the traffic generated by the movement of mobile agents and message communication. Therefore, we have proposed a mobile agent framework for IoT devices using LPWA. The proposed framework gives a concrete implementation for small IoT devices by reducing memory consumption and further reducing the amount of traffic generated by the agent by introducing a compression method that considers the characteristics of each of the agent's movement and message communication. In this paper, we present the design of a prototype system and an application that collects data for the proposed framework and conduct experiments using the application to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed framework. Experimental results show that the proposed framework can reduce sensor data collection time by 21.4% to 43.7% in a data collection application using LPWA and mobile agents.
