ROBUST AND REAL-TIME WIRELESS SENSOR COMMUNICATION FOR INDUSTRIAL MONITORING AND CONTROL

Description of research

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have been widely implemented in various applications all around us such as home automations, wild life monitoring, weather forecasting, industrial control, etc. Generally these sensors are deployed in large numbers in ad-hoc nature and expected to last long with single battery. Eventually the transmit power of these wireless sensors is low which results in small transmission range. So a successful packet transmission in these networks needs multiple hops which often need complex routing algorithms. Again the chance of getting interference in the widely used 2.4 GHz frequency band of WSN is quite high as a lot of devices are operating in this band. So the conventional standards of WSN cannot guarantee the reliability where real-time communication is essential. For such applications, we need a robust and real-time communication standard with low power consumption/alternative power source.

The objective of this research is to explore new paradigms and develop innovative wireless vibration monitoring and control system using a network of intelligent embedded devices that power themselves using harvested vibration energy. The project contributes directly to strengthening the European market in several key sectors such as quality control systems, safety systems, wireless communication and industrial automation and control systems. Finally, our goal is to make concrete progress beyond the state of the art in robust, real-time wireless sensor communication in harsh industrial environments.
