INTRODUCTION
Wireless sensor networks are networks of small devices having sensors,
microprocessors and wireless communication interfaces. This technology has become famous lately. For the purpose of communication in industrial field, WSN technology is widely used. Sensors are used for the communication in industries. In this process, the signals are send through the wires from each field devices and are monitored on central control room. With the beginning of wiring concept, the field device is used for minimizing the wiring cost. Wireless technology is introduced to eliminate the wires as they are costly, bulky and can be easily damaged.Ericsson Mobile communications started a research to explore the usefulness of a consuming low power, low cost, low ratio interface, and to find a process to remove wires between the devices in the year 1994. Then the Bluetooth technology was invented by an electrical engineer Dr. Jaap Haartsen and named the technology
Bluetooth to the honor of the 10th century king Harald “Blue tooth” of Denmark. The aim of Bluetooth is harmony and unification . It also enables the different devices to communicate through wireless connectivity. Bluetooth uses frequency hopping spread spectrum technique and works in the illicit ISM band at 2.4 GHz frequency. A distinctive quality Bluetooth device holds a range of about 10 meters and can be extended to 100 meters. The total bandwidth of 1 Mb / sec is supported by communication channel. A topmost data transfer rate of 721 KBPS maximum of three channels is supported through a single channel . TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
Bluetooth is low priced, short range wireless technology with small power utilization and suitable for diverse small battery driven devices like mobile phones, cameras, laptops, etc. There are two topologies used in Bluetooth architecture: Piconet and Scatternet.
A Piconet: It is an improvised network used to link wireless devices using Bluetooth
technology. It is group of up to 8 devices that shares similar frequencies. It uses the concept of master and slave. Each piconet has one master and rest of the device acts as slave. Usually the device that starts off the piconet behaves as master.. To establish a piconet, first the device searches for the other Bluetooth devices in the range. When the two devices have same frequency then required information is exchanged and to establish the connection paging procedure can be used. For more than 7 devices need to exchange information, there are two possibilities: initial one is by putting one or more devices into park state. The modes used in Bluetooth are sniff, hold and park which are used for low power consumptions. When a device changes to the park mode then it disconnects from Piconet, but schedule adjustment will be maintained. The master of piconet continuously transmits signals to invite the slaves to retain the piconet. If there are less than 7 slave devices in the pconet then only the slave will rejoin. If not then one of the active slave device will be park by the master. Due to these actions there will be delay and it can be undesirable for some applications like procedure control applications that need instant reply from the command center. Scatternet: It is composed of interconnected piconets that maintain communication between more than 8 devices. Scatternets are formed when a device of one piconet that can be master or slave choose to act as a slave in second another piconet . Scatternets provide higher throughput. Also in different piconets multiple-hop routing between devices is possible. That means at one time only single component can interface in one piconet so they hop from one to another relying upon the channel limit. Fig1. A Scatternet
BLUETOOTH BASED SENSOR NETWORK
To produce different countless applications the developers are proving operability
between different devices. Wireless sensor networks are example of such applications. It has various small devices consisting of sensing unit, microprocessor, power source and wireless communication bond. Important features of wireless sensor networks: 1. During the task in process network nodes combines with each other. 2. It has a particular attention on data. As the position of junctions is not decided in the field and formation of smart sensor nodes is not planned it could be experienced that some sensor nodes close in such positions that they either can accomplish needed measurement or the error probability is more . To overcome these problems a small node of repetitive number is disposed. These nodes additionally merge and share data. And thus ensures better outcomes. The collected data is send to the users by “gateway” using multiple hop routes in the Smart sensor nodes that are scattered in the field. BLUETOOTH HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE
Bluetooth hardware has 3 prime function modules:
1) 2.4GHz Bluetooth radio frequency Transreceiver unit.
2) Link controlling unit 3) Host controller interface Host controller is made up of a digital signal processing section with link controller and central processor. Link controller composed of both hardware and software parts for the execution of base band processing and physical layer protocols. CPU core helps Bluetooth module to filter page request and to handle enquiries [4]. Link manager is software which runs on the CPU and communicates to them with the help of link manager protocols.
A WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK
Wireless sensor network provides two important actions querying and tasking. Querying: When there is need of current value of observed event, queries are used. Tasking: It is more composite operation and is useful when an event needs to be noticed for a long time. These two services querying and tasking are allocated to the system through “gateway” which also forwards the collected responds to users. The main functions of a gateway are Interaction with sensor networks. Short wireless transmission is used. It contributes functions like finding of smart sensor nodes Provides techniques of sending and receiving data from sensors, routing. It controls gateway attachment and dataflow to and from sensor network. It provides standard of dealing with ideas that gives detail about the current participating sensors and their characteristics. .
SENSOR NETWORK IMPLEMENTATION
The main target of the sensor network execution was to construct a hardware plan and common software answers that can works as support and for the motive of research in wireless sensor network agreement. Implemented sensor networks involve smart sensor nodes and a gateway. Every node has countless sensors and is connected with microcontroller and Bluetooth element . Gateway and smart nodes behaves as the part of the Piconet. For example: A Bluetooth pressure sensor. The sensor is attached on the Bluetooth node. It has the pressure feeling element, smart signal-conditioning circuitry containing density and temperature reception, and the Transducer Electronic Data Sheet (TEDS). These are integral features of sensor microcontroller which are used for node communication control and also for the memory for TED’s arrangement
SENSOR NODES DISCOVERY
For the execution for the gateway installation the first step is the locating of the smart sensor nodes. With the help of gateway, all the smart nodes are found and build the list of the attribute of sensors and network topologies. After that for making the process easy for the removal of existing sensor and addition of the new it is executed concurrently . ALGORITHM: After the initialization of gateway is done, Bluetooth performs the inquiry procedure. Major and minor device classes are checked after the detection of the Bluetooth devices. Some parameters are set by the sensor nodes for defining the type of device and type of attached sensor. To give some further explanation of offered service, the duty class field is used . And if the founded device is not a smart node then it is disposed. As there is no particular sensor profile at ongoing time. ADVANTAGESS
