Research of Energy-Saving Wireless Self-Organizing Wireless Multi-Protocol Internet Device Data Transmission Network

Abstract

The current level of development of wireless devices allows you to use a cheap wireless interface in almost any field of electronics, where previously used mainly wired solutions. Most devices recently are wireless, mobile, or wearable devices of varying degrees of autonomy. A large number of structures, buildings and private facilities are equipped with wireless security systems, fire alarms, wireless sensors for metering water, electricity, gas, etc. Many objects additionally use many wireless devices for monitoring and controlling objects, wireless relays, locks, video surveillance. Many devices have several independent communication channels, for example, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, GSM / LTE, ZigBee, 6LoWPAN or NFC. Some of these communication methods are incompatible with others, do not use IP addresses or have other restrictions. The development of methods and algorithms for the functioning of networks of wireless devices with different types of interfaces with a uniform interaction and control mechanism, as well as their energy consumption, is the goal of this work. The protocols of the functioning of Internet of things are considered, hardware solutions are selected the most affordable and popular for research. Since the goal is to build an arbitrary network, we considered methods for implementing self-organizing networks based on selected hardware devices and protocols. The main objective of the experimental study was to study the energy consumption of devices using the selected network protocols and methods, especially given that manufacturers often do not focus on the overhead when turning on devices and modules, preliminary coordination of connections, which can be more than consumption during useful work.
