Pervasive Wireless Device Network Applications

Basic Requirement:

Provide the low rate, wireless interconnection of ultra low cost sensor/actuator/processing devices to enable the cyber-world to sense and affect the real physical environment.

Applications:

• Environmental and Health Monitoring • Home Entertainment and Toys • Security, Location and Asset Tracking • Emergency and Disaster Response January 2001 Submission Slide 3 January 2001 Ed Callaway, Motorola

Cornerstones

•

Energy Efficiency: Battery Life Prioritized Above Data Capacity.

•

Capable of Data Throughput < 1kb/day.

•

Scalable from Home Environment to Large Industrial Control and Monitoring Applications.

•

Non-IP Addressing/Routing with IP Gateway.

•

Inherent Node Location Awareness.

•

Self Organizing/Configuring (rapid deployment).

•

Fixed or Low Mobility Devices.

•

Not Designed for Isochronous Data.

•

Tolerant of Transient High Volume Data.

Applications & Requirements

•

Industrial and Environmental Control and Monitoring

•

Reliable, distributed sensing and control with emphasis on energy efficiency – a sensor network with long latency tolerance (long life span)

•

Rapid Deployment with emphasis on self-organization, scalability and distributed management; coping with disaster prevention, control, big events and exploration of unknown territory (short life span)

•

Low Rate Consumer and SOHO Network

•

Low rate control and entertainment devices – a smaller network with low latency tolerance that remains energy efficient

Application Description

doc.:IEEE 802.15-01/041r0 Application Question

1 How many devices are in this low rate network?

2 What are the types of devices in that application?

3 Describe how the network is initiated.

4 How do devices attach and detach from the network? Is human intervention required?

5 Describe the traffic flow of the data.

6 Describe the type of data that flows in each branch of the network.

7 How much data is typically in each message?

8 How often are messages sent?

9 How much latency in the message transfer is acceptable?

10 Describe the network topology.

11 Is there a master node? Where do data flows originate and terminate? Are the devices peer to peer or master/slave?

Industrial Ap

indefinite sensors and control elements; data processing and storage devices Self-organizing upon deployment and activation.

Self-maintaining; no intervention required.

indeterminate asynchronous packetized <10 bytes

Consumer Ap

<255 household appliances, sensors, alarms, toys Self-organizing upon deployment and activation.

Self-maintaining; no intervention required.

indeterminate asynchronous packetized <10 bytes <6 per hour; more often in emergencies 0.1-10 per minute 10 sec; less in emergencies bus 30 ms star no; peer-peer yes; master/slave January 2001 Submission Slide 6 January 2001 Ed Callaway, Motorola

Application Question

Does this network have to interface to another network? If so, how should these two networks be connected?

Industrial Ap

yes, through a gateway If two low-rate networks are in the range of one another, should they 13 interact? If yes, how?

yes, through a gateway Primarily status, 14 What is the type of data that would flow between two low rate networks? control, and queries; How often would they communicate?

as necessary How should these two low rate networks connect when they are within range? Should they configure themselves into one network or only 15 communicate between master, for example?

16 Do the devices support authentication and security?

17 What is the data traffic type? (asynchronous) 18 What are the battery life requirements?

19 What is the physical size of the low-rate transceiver?

20 What is the range requirement of the application?

21 What is the estimate market size (units) of the proposed application?

22 Will this application benefit from location awareness? What is the required position accuracy and update rate [x, y, z, t]?

Communicate through gateways only yes.

asynchronous 1-3 years credit card 1-30 m Many millions yes; <1 to 3 meters; on demand, or event driven, up to latency

Consumer Ap

master must be able to interface with IP no; however, master can control multiple simultaneous networks Primarily status, control, and queries; as necessary Communicate through master only yes.

asynchronous 1-3 years credit card 1-30 m Many millions yes; 1 meter; 10 s, on demand or event driven January 2001 Submission Slide 7 January 2001 Ed Callaway, Motorola
