IPv6 over LoRaWAN™
(2016)
Although short-range wireless communication explicitly targets local and regional applications, range continues to be a highly important issue. The range directly depends on the so-called link budget, which can be increased by the choice of modulation and coding schemes. The recent transceiver generation in particular comes with extensive and flexible support for software-defined radio (SDR). The SX127× family from Semtech Corp. is a member of this device class and promises significant benefits for range, robust performance, and battery lifetime compared to competing technologies. This contribution gives a short overview of the technologies to support Long Range (LoRa™) and the corresponding Layer 2 protocol (LoRaWAN™). It particularly describes the possibility to combine the Internet Protocol, i.e. IPv6, into LoRaWAN™, so that it can be directly integrated into a full-fledged Internet of Things (IoT). The proposed solution, which we name 6LoRaWAN, has been implemented and tested; results of the experiments are also shown in this paper.
Due to its potential in improving the efficiency of energy supply, smart energy metering (SEM) has become an area of interest with the surge in Internet of Things (IoT). SEM entails remote monitoring and control of the sensors and actuators associated with the energy supply system. This provides a flexible platform to conceive and implement new data driven Demand Side Management (DSM) mechanisms. The IoT enablement allows the data to be gathered and analyzed at requisite granularity. In addition to efficient use of energy resources and provisioning of power, developing countries face an additional challenge of temporal mismatch in generation capacity and load factors. This leads to widespread deployment of inefficient and expensive Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) solutions for limited power provisioning during resulting blackouts. Our proposed “Soft-UPS” allows dynamic matching of load and generation through a combination of managed curtailment. This eliminates inefficiencies in the energy and power value chain and allows a data-driven approach to solving a widespread problem in developing countries, simultaneously reducing both upfront and running costs of conventional UPS and storage. A scalable and modular platform is proposed and implemented in this paper. The architecture employs “WiMODino” using LoRaWAN with a “Lite Gateway” and SQLite repository for data storage. Role based access to the system through an android application has also been demonstrated for monitoring and control.
Theoretical details about optics and photonics are not common knowledge nowadays. Physicists are keen to scientifically explain ‘light,’ which has a huge impact on our lives. It is necessary to examine it from multiple perspectives and to make the knowledge accessible to the public in an interdisciplinary, scientifically well-grounded and appealing medial way. To allow an information exchange on a global scale, our project “Invisible Light” establishes a worldwide accessible platform. Its contents will not be created by a single instance, but user-generated, with the help of the global community. The article describes the infotainment portal “Invisible Light,” which stores scientific articles about light and photonics and makes them accessible worldwide. All articles are tagged with geo-coordinates, so they can be clearly identified and localized. A smartphone application is used for visualization, transmitting the information to users in real time by means of an augmented reality application. Scientific information is made accessible for a broad audience and in an attractive manner.
The Bluetooth community is in the process to develop mesh technology. This is highly promising as Bluetooth is widely available in Smart Phones and Tablet PCs, allowing an easy access to the Internet of Things. In this paper work, we investigate the performance of Bluetooth enabled mesh networking that we performed to identify the strengths and weaknesses. A demonstrator for this protocol has been implemented by using the Fruity Mesh protocol implementation. Extensive test cases have been executed to measure the performance, the reliability, the power consumption and the delay. For this, an Automated Physical Testbed (APTB), which emulates the physical channels has been used. The results of these measurements are considered useful for the real implementation of Bluetooth; not only for home and building automation, but also for industrial automation.
Ultra wide band (UWB) signals are well suited both for short-range wireless communication and for high-precision localization applications. Channel impulse response (CIR) analysis in UWB systems is a major element in localization estimation. In this paper, practical aspects of CIR are presented. I.e. a technique for the construction of the accumulated echo-gram of a multipath delayed signal is proposed. Decawave hardware was used to demonstrate the technique of analysis of fine structure of signals with a sub-nanosecond resolution. Temporal stability, reliability and two-way characteristics of such echo-grams are discussed as well. The results of using two EVK1000 radio modules as a radar installation to detect a target in indoor environments prove that a low cost UWB intrusion detection and through-the-wall-vision systems might be developed using the proposed technique.
Investigation on Bowtie Antennas Operating at Very Low Frequencies for Ground Penetrating Radar
(2023)
The efficiency of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems significantly depends on the antenna performance as the signal has to propagate through lossy and inhomogeneous media. GPR antennas should have a low operating frequency for greater penetration depth, high gain and efficiency to increase the receiving power and should be compact and lightweight for ease of GPR surveying. In this paper, two different designs of Bowtie antennas operating at very low frequencies are proposed and analyzed.
Investigation of the Angle Dependency of Self-Calibration in Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output Radars
(2021)
Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) is a key technology in improving the angular resolution (spatial resolution) of radars. In MIMO radars the amplitude and phase errors in antenna elements lead to increase in the sidelobe level and a misalignment of the mainlobe. As the result the performance of the antenna channels will be affected. Firstly, this paper presents analysis of effect of the amplitude and phase errors on angular spectrum using Monte-Carlo simulations. Then, the results are compared with performed measurements. Finally, the error correction with a self-calibration method is proposed and its angle dependency is evaluated. It is shown that the values of the errors change with an incident angle, which leads to a required angle-dependent calibration.
