M2M Protocols, Solutions and Platforms for Smart Home Environments : Integrating C.STATUSTM and the MediaSense

Lodamo, Addisu January 2012 (has links)
Digital technological breakthroughs have brought about a huge change in the way the society interacts, responds to the immediate environment and the way that people live. Furthermore, Ubiquitous Computing and dirt cheap sensors have created a new paradigm in digital technology where human beings could control their environment in a different approach. In a number of paradigms of digital technology, multiple proprietary solutions in industry results in a huge cost for the end users to use the technology and thus a very sluggish penetration of the technology into the society. Moreover, such unorganized and vendor oriented standards create additional burdens on a person concerned in design and implementation.  This thesis presents existing and emerging technologies in relation to smart home environment having an aim to manifest available open standards and platforms. Smart Home Environment Infrastructures have been presented and discussed. Evaluation and integration of a proprietary elderly care sensor system dubbed   C.STATUSTM and the MediaSense overlay network has also been presented. Performance measurement and comparison has been conducted in relation to the proprietary sensor system running on the top of the peer-to-peer MediaSense Platform with the existing C.STATUSTM centralized sensor system. C.STATUSTM User Interface has been designed and implemented for an Android mobile platform. / smart home environment, Internet of things

Positioning and parking analysis for an indoor positioning system : A comparative study between Bluetooth Low Energy and Ultra Wideband technology / Positionerings- och parkeringsanalys för ett inomhuspositioneringssystem : En jämförande studie mellan Bluetooth Low Energy och Ultra Wideband teknologi

Brodin Kont, August January 2019 (has links)
The work done in this report as requested by H&D Wireless is performed by using an already developed real time positioning system called Griffin Enterprise Positioning Service and integratingit with ultrasound sensors for presence detection in order to enable assets to park in a visualized environment being actualized by tagging the asset with radio technology hardware. The testing environment was deployed with radio technology hardware equipped for transmitting and receiving radio signals for position estimation of tagged objects where hardware tags emits radio signals being received by sensing radio technology chips called sensepoints which also serves as communication links for further data processing.The thesis focus is on evaluating how different radio technologies combined with different positioning techniques perform in terms of accuracy and precision in positioning tests to assess eachones positioning performance characteristic and the technologies upsides and downsides.This was firstly evaluated by comparing three different technology positioning techniques based on one for Bluetooth Low Energy and two using Ultra Wideband technology being subject to generic tests including a static, dynamic and a walking positioning test for each technology.These initial tests were utilized as a foreground to evaluate which of the two positioning techniques based on Ultra Wideband technology that would compete in the parking tests alongside Bluetooth Low Energy that would serve as the primary objective to accomplish in the thesis.A final implication on parking tags between the two technologies is that Bluetooth Low Energy had to be implemented with higher requirement restrictions for parking due to insufficient relative accuracy and precision in parking positioning which also limited its ability to be parked in alternative manners explored but with power efficiency as a highly valuable aspect for consideration of this technology. Parking tag using Ultra Wideband technology proved highly successful as it saw large distance margins to be allowed parking in all test cases as well as exhibiting sufficient positioning performance to be considered for alternative parking methods without risk of exposure for failed attempts of parking. / Arbetet utfört i denna rapport på order av H&D Wireless utfördes genom att använda en redan utvecklat realtids positionerings tjänst vid namn Griffin Enterprise Positioning Service och integreradetta system med ultraljudssensorer för närvaro upptäckning för att på så sätt göra det möjligt för tillgångar att parkera i en visualiserad miljö möliggjord av att märkta tillgångar, också kallade taggar, med radioteknologisk hårdvara. Test miljön var utformad med radioteknologisk hårdvara föratt kunna sända och ta emot radio signaler för positionerings estimering av märkta objekt där dessa taggar utsänder radio signaler som upptas av kännande radioteknologiska chip som kallas för sensepoints vilka också tjänar som kommunikationslänkar för vidarearbetning av data.Uppsatsen fokuserar på att utvärder hur radioteknologierna Bluetooth Low Energy och Ultra Wideband tillsammans med förbestämda positionerings tekniker presterar i termer av noggranhet och precision i positionerings tester för att kunna bedöma varderas positionerings karakteristiska prestanda och teknologiernas fördelar och nackdelar. Detta påbörjades genom att utvärdera tre olika teknologiska positioneringstekniker baserade på en med Bluetooth Low Energy och två med Ultra Wideband teknologi som utsattes av generiska tester,som inkluderar ett statisk, dynamiskt och gående positionerings test genomfört för vardera teknologi. Dessa initiala tester användes som grund för att utvärdera vilka två av positionerings teknikerna baserade på Ultra Wideband teknologi som skulle utgöra kandidat i parkerings testerna vid sidan om Bluetooth Low Energy vilket var det primära målet att genomföra i uppsatsen.En följd av att parkera taggar mellan de två teknologierna var att Bluetooth Low Energy krävde högre restriktioner vid implementering för parkering eftersom den uppvisade relativ otillräcklig noggranhet och precision i dess parkerings positionering vilket också begränsade dess förmåga att kunna parkera med alternativ parkings metoder förslagna i rapporten medan dess låga effektförbrukning som en fördelaktig aspekt vid övervägande av tekniken. Att parkera en tagg med Ultra Wideband teknologi demonstrerade framgångsrika resultat då den såg stora avståndsmarginaler för att tillåtas parkera i alla testfall såväl som uppvisande av tillräcklig hög positionerings prestanda för att kunna övervägas med alternativa parkerings metoder utan risk för misslyckade försök till att bli parkerad.
