Receiver-Assigned CDMA in Wireless Sensor NetworksPetrosky, Eric Edward 23 May 2018 (has links)
A new class of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is emerging within the Internet of Things (IoT) that features extremely high node density, low data rates per node, and high network dependability. Applications such as industrial IoT, factory automation, vehicular networks, aviation, spacecraft and others will soon feature hundreds of low power, low data rate (1-15 kbps) wireless sensor nodes within a limited spatial environment.
Existing Medium Access Control (MAC) layer protocols, namely IEEE 802.15.4, may not be suitable for highly dense, low rate networks. A new MAC protocol has been proposed that supports a Receiver-Assigned Code Division Multiple Access (RA-CDMA) physical (PHY) layer multiple access technique, which may enable higher network scalability while maintaining performance and contributing additional robustness.
This thesis presents a comparison of the contention mechanisms of IEEE 802.15.4 non- beacon enabled mode and RA-CDMA along with a Matlab simulation framework used for end-to-end simulations of the protocols. Simulations suggest that IEEE 802.15.4 networks begin to break down in terms of throughput, latency, and delivery ratio at a relatively low overall traffic rate compared to RA-CDMA networks. Results show that networks using the proposed RA-CDMA multiple access can support node densities on the order of two to three times higher than IEEE 802.15.4 within the same bandwidth.
Furthermore, features of a new MAC layer protocol are proposed that is optimized for RA-CDMA, which could further improve network performance over IEEE 802.15.4. The protocol's simple and lightweight design eliminates significant overhead compared to other protocols while meeting performance requirements, and could further enable the deployment of RA-CDMA WSNs. / Master of Science / Factories, automobiles, planes, spacecraft and other systems in the future will require hundreds of sensors within a relatively small area for data gathering purposes. The sensors, which form Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), must have some method of wireless communication that allows each of them to transmit information when needed without obstructing other sensors’ transmissions. Wireless communication protocols provide a method for doing so. Some recognizable examples of wireless communication protocols include Bluetooth, WiFi, 3G and LTE.
For WSNs in the future, the industry’s leading candidate protocol is called IEEE 802.15.4, but it may not be most suitable because it is known to break down as large amounts of sensors are added to its networks. Because of this, a new protocol has been proposed around a channel sharing technique called Receiver-Assigned Code Division Multiple Access (RACDMA), which uses a different strategy to efficiently distribute network resources among sensors.
This work analyzes the differences between IEEE 802.15.4 and RA-CDMA, focusing specifically on how each protocol allows sensors to transmit without conflicting with one another. A simulation framework is introduced for complete simulations of each protocol. The result of the simulations shows that IEEE 802.15.4 breaks down in dense sensor networks. RACDMA, however, is able to support very large networks, on the order of two to three times the size of IEEE 802.15.4. This result could be an enabling technology for large wireless sensor networks in the future.
Additionally, a new protocol optimized for RA-CDMA is presented. Its simple design could further enable the deployment of RA-CDMA WSNs.

Wireless electrocardiogram based on ultra-wideband communicationsToll, Maria January 2019 (has links)
The goal for this master thesis is to develop a prototype that uses ultra-wideband (UWB) communications to wirelessly transfer electrocardiogram (ECG) data from an ECG measurement unit to an Android device (smartphone or similar) which is used to process and display the ECG signals. The prototype should consist of two hardware nodes; (1) Node one having a ECG measurement unit (an AD8232 single lead heart rate monitor), an UWB communication module (a Decawave DWM1000 module) and a microcontroller (an Arduino DUE); and (2) Node two having an Android device (an Android smartphone), an UWB communication module (a Decawave DWM1000 module) and a microcontroller (an Arduino DUE). On Node one the AD8232 monitor for ECG measurements is connected to an analog input (with an analog to digital converter (ADC)) on the Arduino and the DWM1000 module is connected to the Arduino via serial peripheral interface (SPI). On Node two the DWM1000 is connected to the Arduino via SPI to receive ECG data from Node one, and the Arduino is connected to the smartphone through a serial USB cable with an USB on-the-go adapter to send the ECG data to the smartphone, where it is filtered and displayed with an Android application. The application has the potential to add, for example, ECG analysis for diagnosing heart activities with artificial intelligence (AI) and further transmit the ECG data for remote medical care. The Arduino is programmed in Arduino IDE (integrated development environment) to handle ECG measurements and UWB communications (transmitting and receiving ECG data), which is limited to a single UWB channel because of limitations of the DWM1000 module. The Android application is created using Android studio, and it can process (with a notch filter) and display 1-12 channel ECG. The prototype has been built and tested. The results show that a single lead ECG measurement can be sent via UWB communication to a smartphone to display in real time. Multiple data channels (1-12 analog inputs on the Arduino) can be multiplexed, transmitted and displayed in real time. This thesis concludes that UWB has huge development potential, and will likely be used for various wireless devices in the future.

Implementing Energy-Saving Improvements to the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC ProtocolValero, Marco 14 April 2009 (has links)
IEEE 802.15.4 is a standard designed for low data rate wireless personal area networks (WPANs) intended to provide connectivity to mobile devices. Such devices present considerable storage, energy, and communication constraints. However, they can be used in a variety of applications like home/office automation, environmental control and more. In order to extend the lifetime of the WPAN, we propose some changes to the standard including modifications to the Superframe Guaranteed Time Slot (GTS) distribution which can be optimized to reduce energy consumption. We implemented the proposed improvements to the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol using real sensor nodes. Specifically, we conducted an energy study of the proposed acknowledgment-based GTS descriptor distribution scheme and compared the results with the standard implementation. Experiments show that the proposed changes reduce energy consumption up to nearly 50% when 7 devices allocate guaranteed time slots descriptors during normal communication.

IEEE 802.15.4 Protocol Stack Library Implementation,Hardware Design, and Applications in Medical MonitoringYang, Cheng-Yen 12 July 2010 (has links)
Due to the rapid development of semiconductor technology, the number of transistors of integrated circuits in unit area increases by double in roughly every two years. We then can add more circuits and functionality into a single chip. The size of electronic products certainly is reduced. Besides, because of the blooming popularity of wireless network standards in recently year, sensors have been wireless connected to provide more functionality and intelligence. They are, namely, wireless sensor network (WSN). Before long, the integrated circuit design will not only be emphasized on front-end circuits and hardware design, but also integration and functionality, which is so-called the system-on-chip (SOC) design.
The first topic of this thesis is the implementation of IEEE 802.15.4 network prototype and hardware design. The main purpose of prototyping is to realize the highly portable IEEE 802.15.4 protocol stack library which can be quickly transferred to different hardwares. Thus, it shortens the time to market. In ASIC hardware design, we use WISHBONE bus as the interconnection architecture which can be easily integrated into current SOC design for an embedded system.
The second topic is an application of IEEE 802.15.4 in medical monitoring, including system prototyping and ASIC hardware design, which collects the bladder pressure readings by a wireless link and ECG signals from our ASIC sensors. Finally, we realize the medical monitoring in a prototypical system.

Distributed Contention-Free Access for Multi-hop IEEE 802.15.4 Wireless Sensor NetworksKhayyat, Ahmad 26 October 2007 (has links)
The IEEE 802.15.4 standard is a low-power, low-rate MAC/PHY standard that meets most of the stringent requirements of single-hop wireless sensor networks. Sensor networks with nodal populations comprised of thousands of devices have been envisioned in conjunction with environmental, vehicular, and military applications, to mention a few. However, such large sensor network deployments necessitate multi-hop support as well as low power consumption. In light of the standard's extremely limited joint support of the two aforementioned attributes, this thesis presents two essential contributions. First, a framework is proposed to implement a new IEEE 802.15.4 operating mode, namely the synchronized peer-to-peer mode. This mode is designed to enable the standard's low-power features in peer-to-peer multi-hop-ready topologies. The second contribution is a distributed Guaranteed Time Slot (dGTS ) management scheme designed to function in the newly devised network mode. This protocol provides reliable contention-free access in peer-to-peer topologies in a completely distributed manner. Assuming optimal routing, our simulation experiments reveal perfect delivery ratios as long as the traffic load does not reach or surpass its saturation threshold. dGTS sustains at least twice the delivery ratio of contention access under sub-optimal dynamic routing. Moreover, the dGTS scheme exhibits minimum power consumption by eliminating the retransmissions attributed to contention, which in turn reduces the number of transmissions to a minimum. / Thesis (Master, Electrical & Computer Engineering) -- Queen's University, 2007-10-25 14:55:36.811

Quality of Service for Wireless Sensor Networks in Smart Grid ApplicationsAl-Anbagi, Irfan 24 September 2013 (has links)
Monitoring and controlling smart grid assets in a timely and reliable manner is highly
desired for emerging smart grid applications. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are
anticipated to be widely utilized in a broad range of smart grid applications due to
their numerous advantages along with their successful adoption in various critical areas
including military and health care. Despite these advantages, the use of WSNs in such
critical applications has brought forward a new challenge of ful lling the Quality of
Service (QoS) requirements of these applications. Providing QoS support is a challenging
issue due to highly resource constrained nature of sensor nodes, unreliable wireless links
and harsh operation environments. In this thesis we critically investigate the problem
of QoS provisioning in WSNs. We identify challenges, limitations and requirements for
applying QoS provisioning for WSNs in smart grid applications. We nd that the topic
of data prioritization techniques at the MAC layer to provide delay bounds in condition
monitoring applications is not well developed. We develop six novel QoS schemes that
provide data di erentiation and reduce the latency of high priority tra c in a smart
grid context. These schemes are namely; Delay-Responsive Cross layer (DRX), Fair
and Delay-aware Cross layer (FDRX), Delay-Responsive Cross layer with Linear backo
(LDRX), Adaptive Realistic and Stable Model (ARSM), Adaptive Inter-cluster head
Delay Control (AIDC) and QoS-aware GTS Allocation (QGA). Furthermore, we propose
a new Markov-based model for IEEE 802.15.4 MAC namely, Realistic and Stable Markovbased
(RSM). RSM considers actual network conditions and enhances the stability of
the WSNs. We show through analytical and simulation results that all of the presented
schemes reduce the end-to-end delay while maintaining good energy consumption and
data delivery values.
