  3. Contents Application Requirements Overview Very Large Scale Process Control Examples: Utility networks, industrial, others Architectural Concept Based on proven systems Narrow Band-PHY Channel Hopping Slotted Random Access MAC San Filippo, van Greunen, Flammer, Hughes, Rolfe

  4. WNAN Definition A WNAN is A scalable network Constructed of simple, low cost, modest devices Key objectives of the WNAN Extreme scalability (to tens of millions of nodes) High availability (uptime) Highly reliable data delivery (error detection) Ease of commissioning (highly autonomous) San Filippo, van Greunen, Flammer, Hughes, Rolfe

  5. WNAN “Neighborhood” Example San Filippo, van Greunen, Flammer, Hughes, Rolfe

  6. Application Requirements Key differentiators Ubiquity (100% coverage) System longevity (decades) Non-mobile (infrastructure overlay) Cost sensitive (CapEx and OpEx) Reliable, robust, flexible San Filippo, van Greunen, Flammer, Hughes, Rolfe

  7. Cost Factors Total cost Long life - OpEx / CapEx Deployment / Acquisition No on-site (truck roll) maintenance Devices transparent to customers Space/power constraints not as critical But power may become more so Standards yield good economics San Filippo, van Greunen, Flammer, Hughes, Rolfe

  8. Very Large Scale Process Control Scale == millions of nodes per network Ad hoc, multi hop, self-organizing, self-healing Optimized for robustness, ubiquity over data rate Flexible, resilient topology Geographically Diverse Non-mobile (but we don’t get to pick fixed location) Environment not static Tolerant of long, bounded latency San Filippo, van Greunen, Flammer, Hughes, Rolfe

  10. WNAN Architectural Concept • Wireless Neighborhood Area Networks • Built from interconnected short-range links • Interconnected over large service territories • Based on proven systems • PHY – Narrow band – longer range, robust • MAC - Channel hopping, slotted, random access San Filippo, van Greunen, Flammer, Hughes, Rolfe

  11. WNAN Definition A WNAN is Scalable network Simple, low cost, modest throughput devices Optimized for Extreme scalability High availability (robustness) Highly reliable data delivery Ease of commissioning. San Filippo, van Greunen, Flammer, Hughes, Rolfe

  12. Some characteristics WNAN • Data rate commensurate with long range (~100 kbps) • Very high reliability and availability • Peer to Peer with minimal infrastructure (self-forming) • Large scale mesh networking support • Support for route diversity • Fully acknowledged data transfer (error detection) • Support for IP datagrams San Filippo, van Greunen, Flammer, Hughes, Rolfe

  21. NB-PHY Characteristics (3) Narrow Bandwidth Robust performance More power possible Can make use of under-used spectrum Channel Hopping Support Independent of band Constraints on channel switch timing Support for needed sync mechanisms San Filippo, van Greunen, Flammer, Hughes, Rolfe

  27. Synchronization Global synchronization option Difficult in very large networks Requires centralized time distribution Local (single hop) synchronization Requires only peer exchange of synchronization information San Filippo, van Greunen, Flammer, Hughes, Rolfe

  28. MAC Support for Neighbor Discovery Provides mechanism to acquire information about neighbors Supports handshake to obtain timing info Maintains neighbor synchronization (local) San Filippo, van Greunen, Flammer, Hughes, Rolfe
