  2. Presentation Overview • Project Description • System Architecture • Implementation of Solutions • Convolutional Codes • Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenhem (BCH) Codes • Reed-Solomon (RS) Codes • Evaluation • Challenges Faced

  3. Project Description • Energy savings is directly related to the lifetime of a wireless sensor network • Therefore, it is paramount to save energy • By default, motes have to retransmit whole packet even if just one bit is wrong (ARQ architecture) • Forward Error Correcting (FEC) codes is one way to save energy

  4. System Architecture • Basic transmit and receive framework comprising of two micaZ motes • Sender mote • Responsible for creating and transmitting CRC-less packets of fixed lengths at periodic intervals • Sink mote • Responsible for receiving encoded packets from the sensor node as well as recording RSSI and noise floor values

  5. System Architecture Continued • Two modes of operation • Online mode • Data collection for offline mode of operation • Offline mode • Data collected from online mode processed for post experiment analysis • Testing procedure • Varying SNR values simulated by iterative power level changes • Allowed for rapid testing of several hundred packets with even distribution of power levels

  6. Implementation of Solutions • Three types of FEC used • Convolutional Codes • Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenhem (BCH) Codes • Reed-Solomon (RS) Codes • Had to turn off the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) so that mote would even accept an imperfect packet • Otherwise would be no reason to implement FEC codes • Demo Break: show that motes have much longer range when CRC is disabled.

  7. Convolutional Codes • Convolution encoding • Rate 1/2 and 1/3 tested with Constraint Length 3 and 9 • Demo break: show the Bit error rate for the convolutional code • Decoding • Implementation • Language used for implementation of encoder: C • Language used for decoding: Matlab

  8. Convolutional Codes – Parameters & Results • Parameters: • Input bits (k) (ii) Output bits (n) (iii) Constraint length (K) • (iv) Bit error rate (v) Energy consumption Results:

  9. Convolution Codes • Advantages • Secure (encoded bits are different from information bits) • Disadvantages • Not good at correcting burst errors without interleaver • Computationally intensive • Transmission (Tx/Rx) requires energy proportional to encoding rate

  10. BCH Codes • How you did the implementation i.e. which portion of the code is where i.e. on Matlab + Mote • Evaluation capabilities (or performance) parameters • How did we calculate

  11. BCH Codes - Results • Results of BCH

  12. BCH Codes • Advantages: • Disadvantages:

  13. RS Codes • How you did the implementation i.e. which portion of the code is where i.e. on Matlab + Mote • Evaluation capabilities (or performance) parameters • How did we calculate

  14. RS Codes - Results • Results of RS codes

  15. RS Codes • Advantages: • Disadvantages:

  16. Evaluation • Preliminary testing found that implementing FEC’s does indeed lower the bit error rate • However with implementing any of our three error correction codes provided for a virtually perfect packet • In conclusion, simply turning off the CRC allowed the communication range of the mode to be extended by 30 feet

  17. Challenges Faced • Turning –off CRC • Tradeoff: Spend extra energy to transmit redundant bits and have less retransmission requests versus save energy initially but have more retransmissions • RSSI data • Customizing payload size • ANSCI C
