Electronics Blocks for Basic Sensor-Based System System Design and Problems (II)
Overview • Design Objective • What is MiWi • MiWi and Zigbee • MiWi wireless solution • Limitations
Design Objective • WSN for E-blocks • Can be easily setup by user • Low cost solution
What is MiWi • The MiWi protocol is free, small footprint protocol developed for customers who do not need ZigBee protocol, but want to use IEEE802.15.4 standard for low-cost p2p, star and mesh network.
MiWi Wireless Solution(Mesh Network Model) Mesh Network
MiWi Wireless Solution IEEE 802.15.4™ FUNCTIONAL DEVICE TYPES • Full Function Device (FFD): • Can be PAN coordinator, coordinator or end device. • Support majority of services. • Reduced Function Device (RFD): • Can communicate with its parent only. Talk to other via coordinator. • End device only. • Require less amount of RAM and ROM.
MiWi Wireless Solution MiWi™ PROTOCOL DEVICE TYPES • PAN Coordinator: • One per network. Form the network, allocated network addresses, holding binding table. • Must be FFD. • Coordinator • Extends the physical range of the network. Allow more nodes to join the network. • Can be PAN Coordinator if needed. • Must be FFD. • End Device • Performs monitoring and/or control functions. • Can be FFD/RFD.
Limitations • Maximum 8 coordinators with 127 nodes per coordinator. • Will not cause a serious problem. • Maximum 4 hops per message • Modify MiWi protocol stack • Build own protocol on top of MiWi protocol stack
Next… • Building Eblock sensor. • Continue study on MiWi protocol stack. • Some known problems and existing solutions. • Construct a simple MiWi hardware using microchip PIC Micro and MRF24J40 transceiver.
