Ranging errors are inevitable in all local positioning systems, including those based on Time-of-Flight (ToF) technique. Results of experiments show that the major cause for these errors is a signal degradation from multipath propagation. This effect is especially critical in case of Non-Light-of-Sight (NLOS) conditions. This paper describes causes that affects ranging errors for nanoLOC™-TOF-technology and presents estimations for the probability density functions of such errors under different NLOS conditions. The provided estimations allow the improvement of the accuracy of the localization through the subsequent mitigation of the ranging errors from the measurements. Additionally, it is proposed to increase the number of cases of NLOS-conditions for the improvement of the accuracy.
Die Kommunikationstechnik für die Zählerfernauslesung (Smart Metering) und für die Energieerzeugungs- und -verteilnetze (Smart Grid) hat das Potenzial, zu einer der ersten hoch skalierten M2M-Anwendungen zu werden. In den vergangenen Jahren konnten zwei vielversprechende Entwicklungen im Umfeld der drahtlosen Kommunikation für die Smart-Grid-Kommunikation vorbereitet werden, die das Marktgeschehen über Deutschland und über die Versorgungstechnik hinaus beeinflussen könnten. Neben der Spezifikation der OMS-Gruppe ist die Erarbeitung eines Schutzprofils (Protection Profile, PP) sowie einer Technischen Richtlinie (TR) für die Kommunikationseinheit eines intelligenten Messsystems (Smart Meter Gateway) durch das Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI) zu nennen. Diese greifen, wie der Beitrag beschreibt, den Stand der Technik auf und geben praxisorientierte Umsetzungen vor.
The communication technologies for automatic meter reading (smart metering) and for energy production and distribution networks (smart grid) have the potential to be one of the first really highly scaled machine-to-machine-M2M-applications. During the last years, two very promising developments around the wireless part of the smart grid communication were initialized, which possibly could have an impact on the network architectures and the markets far beyond Germany and far beyond energy automation. Besides the specification of the OMS Group of a security extension to the Wireless M-Bus protocol (EN13757-4), the German Federal Office for Information Security (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik, BSI) has designed a Protection Profile (PP) and a Technical Directive (TR) for the communication unit of an intelligent measurement system (Smart Meter Gateway), which were released in March 2013. This design uses state of the art technologies and prescribes their implementation in real-life systems. At first, the proposed paper will present the most important characteristics of this architecture. It will then give an insight into the implementation of the OMS security protocols, which imply the usage of a mutually authenticated SSL protocol also in the Local Metrological Network. This is achieved with the help of an additional Authentication and Fragmentation Layer (AFL). This secure communication will be terminated in a BSI conformant secure smart meter gateway, which is developed in a different project and described in the second step. Finally, the contribution will discuss the integration of such a metering network into an overall telecommunication network and PKI infrastructure.
Android is an operating system which was developed for use in smart mobile phones and is the current leader in this market. A lot of efforts are being spent to make Android available to the embedded world, as well. Many embedded systems do not have a local GUI and are therefore called headless devices. This paper presents the results of an analysis of the general suitability of Anroid in headless embedded systems and ponders the advantages and disadvantages. It focuses on the hardware related issues, i.e. to what extent Android supports hardware peripherals normally used in embedded systems.
