  2. Overview Introduction Design Goals Design Methodology Subsystems Project Success Future Extensions / Projects Applications Conclusion

  3. Introduction • Wireless Sensor Networks • One of MIT's 10 emerging technologies • Low-power systems • New applications: sensing, controls, automation • WISENET: Wireless Sensor Network • Office environment monitoring • Temperature, humidity, light • Quantitively evaluate heating & A/C systems • Funding & support provided by Honeywell, Int'l.

  4. Design Goals Use of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software & standard interfaces where applicable Apache web-server (HTTP) MySQL database PHP web programming language Simple, web-based user interface Battery-powered, wireless sensor nodes: 'motes' Low-power consumption = Long battery life Motes create self-organizing ('ad-hoc') networks for robust communications

  5. Design Methodology • Top-Down Design Process: • Define major subsystems • Define subsystem interfaces • Primary Subsystems: • Client • Standard Web browser via Internet • Server • Wireless mote network

  6. System Block Diagram

  7. Subsystem – Server

  8. WiseDB • Written in C++ • Utilizes open-source APIs • Application Programming Interfaces (API) • MySQL++ database API • Serial API • Relays information from mote network to database • Sends commands to mote network

  9. Web Program • Written in PHP4 • Utilizes Charting Software: ChartDirector v3.0 • Generates 3 Graphs (default) • Passes Parameters via HTTP GET • Use bookmarks for specific queries • Retrieves Data for Specific Mote or All Motes

  10. Web Program Data Retrieval Form:

  18. TinyOS • Real-time operating system for microcontrollers • Open-source project at UC Berkeley • Key Features: • Developed for sensing applications • Emphasis on low-power: Idle & sleep modes • Highly modular architecture • Efficient utilization of resources • Currently developed for Atmega microcontrollers

  19. TinyOS

  20. Wisenet is partially operational 2 Motes w/ prototype sensor boards TinyOS modified for CC1010 Server running WiseDB + web interface Sensor boards are not currently powered by batteries. Problems with DC-DC converter Unable to test multi-hop routing due to lack of motes Project Success

  21. Expand network to develop & test multi-hop routing Develop a single-board mote Create a expandable, plug-in sensor interface Research alternative energy sources Solar cell, rechargeable batteries Continue development of TinyOS Improve tools Optimize performance / reduce power usage Improve web interface Data analysis Future Projects / Extensions

  22. Potential Applications • Lab / Office Monitoring • Natural Habitat Monitoring • Automation / Process Control • Where wired sensors are impractical • Security Systems • Intrusion detection & occupancy sensors • Extreme Weather Surveillance • Think “Twister” • Potential Biomedical Applications • Critical fall alert for the elderly • Military Reconnaissance • Monitor battlefields, sensitive locations

  23. Conclusion • WISENET: Wireless Sensor Network • Emerging technology that will change the world • Many real-world applications • Low-power • Open-source software • Modular mote application design (TinyOS) • Flexible server implementation • Simple user interface via the web WISENET is a step to the future of wireless sensing technology.
