15. NFC: Near Field Communication

16. What is NFC • NFC or Near Field Communication is a short range high frequencywirelesscommunicationtechnology • A radio communication is establishedbytouchingtwodevices or keepingthem in a proximity of a few centimeters up to 10 cm • Allowscommunicationbetween • Twopowered (active) devices • Onepoweredandone non selfpowered (passive) device

21. Benefits of NFC • NFC is compatible with existing passive RFID infrastructures unlike Bluetooth. • NFC is slow, uses less power and less setup time compared to Bluetooth • Uses Short range secured channel for communication which prevents hackers from snooping information during data transfer.

22. Benefits of NFC • Easy to setup andincorporatewith compatible existing systems • No special software needed • No manual configurationandsettingsneeded • No search and pair procedure needed.

23. Limitations of NFC • NFC’s maximum data transfer rate is slower than that of Bluetooth 4.0. • Short distance action is a major drawback of NFC

24. iBeacon/ Beacon / BLE

25. iBeaCon (iOS + BeaCon) • Beacontechintroducedby Apple • An extremely accurate locating system • Runs on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) • Push notification system based on location • When the device is nearbyanybeacon content, therewillbe a push notification in the device

26. iBeacon Features • Included in Bluetooth 4.0+ • Geo-fence • Peer-to-Peer, WPAN • Low power consumption • Low cost • Multi Vendor interoperability

27. iBeacon:Multiple points Communication

28. Some iBeacon examples

29. Proximity and Microlocation

30. iBeacon: Benefits • Low cost & Low Energy • P2P and star network support • Wider range than NFC

31. iBeacon: Limitations • Not approved for secured financial transactions • Conflicts with different Beacon points is still not handled • Turn location monitoring all the time • Requires recharging the active device • Practical transfer rate is below 100 kb/s • iBeacon needs power source.

32. Beacon in Commercial use • Paypal Beacon

33. Zigbee: PAN, Mesh Network, Ad-hoc digital radio networks

34. Zigbee: Features • Low costand Low Energy • Meshnetwork PAN • Cantransmit data over long range • Operates in the industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) radio bands: 868 MHz in Europe, 915 MHz

35. Zigbee: Benefits • Can not act as bothBeaconand Non-Beacon Mode • Remote Sensingand control

36. Zigbee: Limitations • Very low bandwidth • Practical range is too low 10-meter range. In comparison the specification is up to 100m

41. ANT+ is the wireless technology that allows your monitoring devices to talk to each other. Leading brands design ANT+ into top products to ensure that you get the data you want -  when and where you want it. Fundamentally, ANT+ gives you the simplest, most expandable and most reliable user experience possible. • ANT+ stands for interoperability which means that ANT+ products from multiple brands work together. Plus, because devices are compatible, you can always add to or update your monitoring system. Ant+: What is Ant+

42. Ant+: Device Profile ANT+ devices use the ANT+ network key to access the ANT+ network, and they implement at least one of the ANT+ device profiles.

46. How NFC Works Initiator Target Reader peak-detects the amplititude modulated two loop antennas create air-core communication Receive sufficient energy and starts clocking its data that connected at coils input Reader continiously generates as RF carrier sine wave at 13,56 MHz Shunting the coil causes a momentary fluctuation

47. NFC: Overview

48. Features of NFC • NFC is an extention of Radio frequency Identification (RFID) technology that combines the interface of a smartcard and a reader into a single device. • It operates within gobal unlicensed radio frequency band of 13,56MHz with a bandwidth of 14KHz. • Supported data rates 106,212 and 424 Kbit/s • Setup time is < 0,1 sec • Able to receive and transmit data at the same time This solves the problem of recovering data corruption during transmission .
