Abstract: With the rapid proliferation of IoT (Internet of Things) technologies, ensuring reliable and continuous operation of M2M (machine to machine) communications has become paramount. This paper presents the design and implementation of a redundant backup system tailored for M2M devices, utilizing an ad hoc network system. The proposed architecture is systematically divided into three layers: the physical layer, network layer, and application layer, each meticulously crafted to address the specific constraints and demands inherent to IoT devices. At the physical layer, considerations are given to the hardware specifications and energy consumption of M2M devices. The network layer focuses on establishing robust, self-organizing ad hoc network protocols to ensure seamless connectivity and data transmission between devices. Meanwhile, the application layer is designed to manage data redundancy, recovery processes, and system monitoring, ensuring that the backup mechanism operates efficiently under varying conditions. Through the integration of this multi-layered device redundant backup solution, the system guarantees continuous operation and enhances reliability in M2M scenarios. Extensive testing and simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system in maintaining data integrity and operational resilience, even in the face of network disruptions and hardware failures. This study offers a comprehensive framework for improving the robustness of M2M communications, contributing to the advancement of IoT technologies.
