6LoWPAN (IPv6 over Low Power Wireless Personal Area Networks) is gaining more and more attraction for the seamless connectivity of embedded devices for the Internet of Things (IoT). Whereas the lower layers (IEEE802.15.4 and 6LoWPAN) are already well defined and consolidated with regard to frame formats, header compression, routing protocols and commissioning procedures, there is still an abundant choice of possibilities on the application layer. Currently, various groups are working towards standardization of the application layer, i.e. the ETSI Technical Committee on M2M, the IP for Smart Objects (IPSO) Alliance, Lightweight M2M (LWM2M) protocol of the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA), and OneM2M. This multitude of approaches leaves the system developer with the agony of choice. This paper selects, presents and explains one of the promising solutions, discusses its strengths and weaknesses, and demonstrates its implementation.
The demand of wireless solutions in industrial applications increases since the early nineties. This trend is not only ongoing, it is further pushed by developments in the area of software stacks like the latest Bluetooth Low Energy Stack. It is also pushed by new chip-designs and powerful and highly integrated electronic hardware. The acceptance of wireless technologies as a possible solution for industrial applications, has overcome the entry barrier [1]. The first step to see wireless as standard for many industrial applications is almost accomplished. Nevertheless there is nearly none acceptance of wireless technology for Safety applications. One highly challenging and demanding requirement is still unsolved: The aspect safety and robustness. Those topics have been addressed in many cases but always in a similar manner. WirelessHART as an example addresses this topic with redundant so called multiple propagation paths and frequency hopping to handle with interferences and loss of network participants. So far the pure peer to peer link is rarely investigated and there are less safety solutions available. One product called LoRa™ can be seen as one possible solution to address this lack of safety within wireless links. This paper focuses on the safety performance evaluation of a modem-chip-design. The use of diverse and redundant wireless technologies like LoRa can lead to an increase acceptance of wireless in safety applications. Many measurements in real industrial application have been carried out to be able to benchmark the new chip in terms of the safety aspects. The content of this research results can help to raise the level of confidence in wireless. In this paper, the term “safety” is used for data transmission reliability.
Der Studienbeginn wird an der Hochschule Offenburg durch Vorbereitungskurse, sogenannte Brückenkurse, unterstützt. Wir stellen vorläufige Ergebnisse beim Einsatz von Smartphones und Tablets im Rahmen des Physik-Brückenkurses vor, bei dem die Studenten Hilfen zum selbständigen Üben durch eine App erhalten. Durch die Überarbeitung des Kurses und den Einsatz der App konnte der Teilnehmerschwund verringert werden. Die Evaluationsergebnisse bestätigen eine hohe Akzeptanz der Neuerungen seitens der Studierenden. Erste Auswertungen von Ein- und Ausgangstests deuten darauf hin, dass durch den Brückenkurs eine Angleichung der Vorkenntnisse der Studienanfänger erreicht wird, da Teilnehmer mit geringeren Vorkenntnissen tendenziell einen größeren Lernfortschritt erreichen. Durch unterschiedliche Schwierigkeitsstufen und selbstregulierte Übungsphasen in individuellem Tempo können aber auch die Erfordernisse der stärkeren Teilnehmer angemessen berücksichtigt werden.
