WPAN and Wireless Networks WWAN (3G,4G?) WMAN (Wi-Max) Low throughput, Long range WLAN (Wi-Fi) High throughput, short range WPAN Low throughput, short range
Scope of Various Standards Power consumption Mobility 802.16 801.11a HiperLAN 802.11g* 802.11b WMAN 802.11 WLAN 802.15.1 Bluetooth 802.15.4 WPAN Data rate Complexity
Unlicensed Spectrum for Wireless Networks • ISM – Industrial, Scientific and Medical band • The only ISM band guaranteed to be available in every country is the one at 2.4 GHz • This corresponds to the exact resonance frequency of water • Free for anyone to use for almost any purpose • Employed by most wireless technologies, many cordless phones and Bluetooth
WPAN Definition A WPAN (wireless personal area network) is a network for interconnecting devices cantered around an individual person's workspace - in which the connections are wireless. Typically, a wireless personal area network uses some technology that permits communication within about 10 meters - in other words, a very short range.
WPAN Technologies • IrDA (Infrared) • Bluetooth • Zigbee • UWB (Ultra Wideband ) • RFID*
IrDA • It is a popular way for handhelds to exchange data, typically range of 2 meters. • They are often used to manually exchange information using strictly a point-to-point connection (line-of-sight). • IrDA v1.0 transmits data at 115 kbps. • IrDA v1.1 transmits data at 4 Mbps.
Bluetooth history • 2001: Bluetooth appears as cable replacement for mobile phone accessories, primarily headsets. • 2003: Bluetooth or WiFi? • Both technologies get their own application area • WiFi: wireless networks, IT • Bluetooth: wearable, personal equipment. • 2005: BT widely used for cable replacement in consumer electronics. PDA, mobile phones. • Synchronization and information transfer.
Bluetooth Specification • Radio Frequency • The unlicensed industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band at 2.4 to 2.48 GHz • Radio Range • 10 meters or up to 100 meters with an optional amplifier
Network architectures • 1 Master – 1 Slave: Point-to-Point. Piconet • 1 Master – N Slaves: Point-to-Multipoint. Piconet • Maximum 7 active Slaves • Slave in 1 network, Master in another network: Scatternet

ZigBee ZigBee is a standards-based wireless network technology that addresses remote monitoring and control applications. IEEE 802.15.4 was drawn up by IEEE working group to specify technical specification for the Physical and Data Link layers. ZigBee alliance defined the network, security and application layers above the 802.15.4 physical and medium access control layers, and dealt with the interoperability certification and testing.
Features of ZigBee • Low data rates – throughput between 10 and 115.2 Kpbs • Low power consumption – several months up to 2 years on standard primary batteries • Network topology appropriate for multi-sensor monitoring and control applications • Low complexity for low cost and ease of use • Very high reliability and security • Maximum acceptable latencies vary from 10 ms for the PC peripherals to 100 ms to home automation
ZigBee Applications • Embedded in consumer electronics • Home and building automation and security systems • Industrial controls • PC peripherals • Medical and industrial sensor applications • Toys and games and similar applications
Ultra Wideband (UWB) Specification • Extremely low transmission energy ( less than 1mW) • Very high bandwidth within short range (200Mbps within 10m) • Extremely difficult to intercept • Short pulse excitation generates wideband spectra –low energy densities • Low energy density also minimizes interference to other services • Multipath immunity (Protection)
UWB Applications Wireless Monitors Efficient transfer of data from digital Camcorders UWB/Wireless USB Dongle
RFID • A tiny radio transmitter, often referred to as a: • RFID tag • Smart tag • Smart label • Radio barcode • Attach tag to object - item, asset, box or pallet • Reader interrogates the tag from a distance • Filter & use the data in an IT application • Co-exist with barcodes *Presentation adopted from RFID Centre
RFID Component Parts • Tag or Transponder • Electronic chip that contains memory • Antenna • Substrate & packaging • (Battery) • Reader or Interrogator • Antenna • Electronics to read tag • IT Infrastructure • Network • Hardware and software
Tag on Item, box or pallet Basic Operation 1. Tag enters RF field of Reader 2. RF signal powers Tag 3. Tag transmits ID, plus data 4. Reader captures data 5. Reader sends data to computer 6. Computer send data to reader 7. Reader transmits data to tag Antenna Computer Reader
