Efficient Power Consumption Wireless Communication Techniques/Modules For Internet of Things (Iot) Applications

This document discusses efficient power consumption techniques for wireless communication in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. It compares technologies like ZigBee, low power Wi-Fi, 6LoWPAN, and LPWA in terms of protocol, power consumption, and battery life. The choice of module impacts power usage and different protocols are better suited for different applications and ranges depending on throughput needs, power needs, and maximum distance. Low power Wi-Fi protocols may be best for short-range connectivity while LPWA is suitable for wide area communications with very low power consumption over long distances.

ABSTRACT

 It focuses on the importance of using low power wireless techniques and modules

in IoT applications by introducing a comparative between different low power


wireless communication techniques such as ZigBee, Low Power Wi-Fi, 6LowPAN,
LPWA and their modules to conserve power and longing the life for the IoT network
sensors.

 The approach is in term of protocol used and the particular module that achieve
that protocol.

 The results is to demonstrate that the choice of module for each protocol plays a
vital role in battery life due to the difference of power consumption for each
module/protocol.
INTRODUCTION

 A dramatic change towards a universal connection between every things and


processing will lead to a third industrial revolution named Internet of Things (IoT).
 IoT takes its name from its wide spread applications from wearable fitness trackers
to connected cars.
 IoT is a system based on billion smart sensors and actuators and to build such a
system, new ideas about intelligent sensors and data computations and processing
must be introduced.
 How these sensors and actuators are interconnect, Ethernet cabling look like not a
good idea. Indeed, only wireless offers the flexibility, scalability and cost efficiency
needed to ensure viable uptake of the Internet of Things.
 A limited power supply problem comes up with a wireless connectivity between
sensors. when selecting a wireless technology for connected devices, a few
considerations must be taken into account depending on the final application.

• Maximum throughput.
• Power consumption.
• Maximum distance range.
IoT FUNDAMENTALS

 The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new paradigm that is increasing in popularity.


It is defined as “an interconnection of uniquely identifiable embedded computing
devices within the existing Internet infrastructure, offering advanced connectivity
of devices, systems, and services that goes beyond machine-to-machine
communications and covers a variety of protocols, domains, and applications.
WIRELESS IoT CONNECTIVITY TECHNOLOGY

 Wireless technologies span different spaces from few centimeters to many


kilometers. For short to medium range communication Wireless Personal and
Local Area Network technologies (WPAN\LAN).

 For long range communication these can be divided into two types whether to
use licensed (Cellular 2G/3G/4G and 5G in future) or licensed-exempt
technologies (LPWA LoRa, SIGFOX, and other)
SHORT RANGE CONNECTIVITY TECHNOLOGY

 Wi-Fi is a great candidate to ensure connectivity in IoT has been out of reach
for sensor communications due to the fairly large energy consumption with its
traditional protocols. technologies such as duty cycling, that is, putting chips in a
sleep mode for most of the time and a low power Wi-Fi modules.

 Another good candidate IEEE 802.15.4 technology 6LowPAN protocol and


ZigBee alliance produced ZigBee protocol over low power IEEE802.15.4 protocol
 Early optimization efforts show that Wi-Fi could be 10 times more energy
efficient than ZigBee, in addition, given the wide spectrum of data rates
required for IoT applications. IEEE has started working on the low power Wi-Fi
version, which is standardized in IEEE 802.11ah.
CELLULAR TECHNOLOGIES

 3GPP technologies like GSM, WCDMA, LTE and future 5G. These WANs operate
on licensed spectrum and historically have primarily targeted high-quality mobile
voice and data services.

 Now, however, they are being rapidly evolved with new functionality and the new
radio access technology narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) specifically tailored to form an
attractive solution for emerging low power wide area (LPWA) applications
UNLICENSED LPWA

 New proprietary radio technologies, provided by, for example, SIGFOX and
LoRa, have been developed and designed solely for machine-type communication
(MTC) applications addressing the ultra-low-end sensor segment,

 LPWA technologies complement existing cellular mobile network and short


range technologies, enabling wide area communications at lower cost points and
better power consumption characteristics.
Low-Power Wide-Area (LPWA) is a generic term for a group of technologies
with the following key characteristics:

•Long battery life, often in excess of 10 years.


•Wide area connectivity characteristics, allowing for out-of-the-box connected
solutions.
•Low cost chipsets and networks.
• Limited data communications throughput capacity.
WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS FOR IOT APPLICATIONS

 Sensors in wireless sensor networks applications are grouped as clusters to


inform nodes called sensor nodes.
 These nodes are typically powered by battery power supply.
 The battery life time in sensor nodes influence by :
• Wireless Communication Protocol.
• Used module for a certain Wireless Communication Protocol.
• The coverage range and the distance between sensor nodes.
•The nature of application.
TRANSMISSION TIME AND POWER CONSUMPTION

 The transmission time depends on the data rate, the message size, and the
distance between two nodes.

 Compared to IEEE 802.15.4 with 250 kb/s maximum data rate, IEEE 802.11
b/g operates at much higher data rates ranging from 1 Mb/s to 54 Mb/s. This
allows Wi-Fi enabled sensors to spend very little time with actual transmission or
reception
CONCLUSION

 The maximum range for transmission and receiving depends on modules and
protocols type. So, in sense of distance effect on power consumption, there is no
certain module or protocol can be candidate for IoT applications, because the
distance depends on the nature of application

 Data rate and payload of protocol affect directly on power consumption. High
data rate and long data size of protocol lead to low power consumption. So, on the
level of protocols for short-range connectivity low power Wi-Fi protocols is the best
solution also on the level of modules
