Bluetooth Based Smart Sensor Networks

The communications capability of devices and continuous transparent information routes are indispensable components of future oriented automation concepts. Communication is increasing rapidly in industrial environment even at field level.In any industry the process can be realized through sensors and can be controlled through actuators.The process is monitored on the central control room by getting signals through a pair of wires from each field device in Distributed Control Systems (DCS).

BLUETOOTH BASED SMART SENSOR

NETWORKS
INTRODUCTION
Various sensors are already in broad use today as part of different
devices or as standalone devices connected to a network.
Wireless communication have enhanced development of small, low
power and low cost devices.
Bluetooth is a low cost, short range, wireless technology with small
footprint, low power consumption and reasonable throughput.
BLUETOOTH
Bluetooth specifications are:
• Developed by: Jaap Harsteen and Sven Mattisson in Sweden
• Standard: IEEE 802.15
• ISM Band Frequency: 2.4 GHz
• Range: 10 – 100 meters
• Channel Bandwidth: 1 Mbps
• Maximum Asymmetric Data Transfer Rate: 721 Kbps
BLUETOOTH TOPOLOGY

 Depending on the type of connections established between


various Bluetooth devices, 2 main topologies are :
• PICONET TOPOLOGY
• SCATTERNET TOPOLOGY
To any topology, there are 2 prime components :
• MASTER DEVICE
• SLAVE DEVICE
PICONET TOPOLOGY
Piconet is a collection of upto 8 devices.
When piconet is established, one device sets up frequency-
hopping pattern and other devices synchronize their signals to the
same pattern.
Those devices which sets the frequency hopping pattern are
called primary devices.
Those devices which get synchronized are called secondary
devices.
PICONET TOPOLOGY(CONTD.)
Each piconet has one master and upto 7 slaves.
PICONET TOPOLOGY(CONTD.)
For establishing piconet connection, other bluetooth devices in
range are discovered by an inquiry procedure.
SCATTERNET TOPOLOGY
Scatternet consists of several piconets connected by devices
participating in multiple piconet.
Using scatternet higher throughput is available & multihop
connections between devices in different piconets is possible.
SMART SENSOR NETWORKS

It is to ensure interoperability among various Bluetooth


manufactures’ devices.
One such application is : WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS
(WSN).
Important features of WSN: Collaboration of network nodes
during execution and Data Centric nature.
Many smart sensor nodes scattered in the field collect data and
send it to users via ‘gateway’ using multi-hop routes.
WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS(WSN)

WSN consists of number of small devices with a sensing unit,


microprocessors, wireless communication interface and power
source.
Two main operations performed by WSN are:
• QUERING
• TASKING
WSN(CONTD.)

Functions of gateway:
• Communication with sensor networks
• Gateway logic
• Communication with users
SMART SENSOR NODE ARCHITECTURE
Implementation of pressure sensor as bluetooth node is shown as
follows:
BLUETOOTH HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE

Bluetooth Hardware consists of 3 main functional modules:


• 2.4 GHz Bluetooth RF Transceiver Unit
• Link Management Unit
• Host Controller Interface
BLUETOOTH HARDWARE
ARCHITECTURE(CONTD.)

Host controller interface consists of:


• Link controller
• CPU Core
• Link Manager
Bluetooth Module also incorporates Higher-Level Software Protocols,
governing the functionality and interoperability with other modules.
BLUETOOTH HARDWARE
ARCHITECTURE(CONTD.)
COMMUNICATION WITH SMART SENSOR
NODES
Initialization of gateway and Bluetooth Inquiry Procedure.
Setting of parameters and assigning type of devices and sensors.
Description by Service-Class Field.
Else, service database of the discovered smart node is searched
for sensor services.
Lastly, Bluetooth link is established and data exchange with smart
node starts.
APPLICATIONS OF SENSOR NETWORKS
Military Applications:
• Monitoring friendly forces, equipment and ammunition.
• Nuclear, biological and chemical attack detection.
Environmental Applications:
• Forest fire detection.
• Flood detection and precision agriculture.
Health Applications:
• Tracking and monitoring patients and doctors inside a hospital.
• Drug administration in hospitals.
ADVANTAGES:
• No line of sight restrictions for signal transmitting.
• Interoperability.
• Mass production at low cost.
• Less power consumption makes its usage in battery powered
devices very practical.
DISADVANTAGES:
• Average speed.
• Less range.
CONCLUSION

The sensor-networked architecture heralds wireless future for


home and also for industrial implementation.
Implementation of Bluetooth not only cuts wiring cost but also
integrates industrial environment to smarter environment.
Bluetooth is continually expanding technology with over 15000
companies working on bluetooth.
