Wireless Network System • Enables communication between two or more system . • Uses standard network protocols for communication. • Do not use network cabling Two types of network • Infrastructure Network • Ad-hoc Network
Ad-hoc Network Application • Wireless Sensor Network. • Wireless Monitoring System is the results of the wireless sensor network. • What is Wireless Sensor Network? • Wireless network. • Consists of spatially distributed devices. • Uses sensors to monitor.
Sensor Nodes • Considered as small Computers. • Consists Processing Unit with limited computational power. • Limited Memory. • Communication device Usually radio transceivers. • Power source in the form of battery.
Benefits of Wireless Monitoring • Flexibility • Easier to upgrade and add new devices. • Eliminates the complexity of the system. • Cost • Reduced installation labor. • Easier to diagnose the efficiency of the process.
Challenges of Wireless Monitoring • Security and Reliability • Authentication. • Encryption. • Integration with Existing Systems • Difficult to integrate with existing system. • Difficult to modify. • Battery Life • Tradeoff between power consumption and amount of data collected. • Alternative energy are also in research.
Structural Health Monitoring • Wireless Monitoring is used to monitor the condition of the civil infrastructure. • An experiment was done by “Department of Civil Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan”. • Experimented with 3-story steel frame instrumented with wireless sensors for shaking table test.
Conclusion • With the designed converter different sensor signals can be used as input to the wireless sensing unit for monitoring purpose. • For structural control purpose, one can embedded the control gain as well as the control algorithm in the sensing unit.
