Study Notes

Bluetooth: A Key Wireless Communication Protocol

Bluetooth is a wireless communication protocol that utilizes radio waves to transmit data
It is designed for short-range connections between devices.
It is comprised of three main layers: Baseband, Link Manager Protocol (LMP), Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol (L2CAP).
Baseband uses frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) to avoid interference and provide reliable communication.
The LMP manages physical channels and links, handling error correction, data whitening, hop selection, and Bluetooth security
It also manages asynchronous and synchronous links, handling packets, paging, and inquiry.
L2CAP provides connection-oriented and connectionless data services to upper-layer protocols.
It provides multiplexing capability, segmentation and reassembly operations and group abstractions.
Radio Frequency Communications (RFCOMM) is a cable replacement protocol used for generating a virtual serial data stream.
RFCOMM provides binary data transport and emulates EIA-232 control signals.
This essentially creates a serial port emulation over the Bluetooth baseband layer
RFCOMM provides a simple and reliable data stream to the user, similar to TCP.
It supports up to 60 simultaneous connections between two Bluetooth devices.
The Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) enables applications to discover available services and their features.
It is designed to address the dynamic changes in service quality, especially in proximity of devices in motion.
It operates over a reliable packet transfer protocol and uses a request/response model.
All connections are either master-to-slave or slave-to-master.
Slaves are allowed to transmit only after being polled by the master
Transmission starts in the slave-to-master time slot immediately following a polling packet
A device can be a member of two or more Piconets, it can be a slave in one Piconet and a master in another.
However, a device cannot be a master in more than one Piconet at a time.
Devices in adjacent Piconets provide a bridge to support inner-Piconet connections, allowing assemblies of linked Piconets to form a physically extensible communication infrastructure known as Scatternet.

Z-Wave: A Protocol for Home Automation

Z-Wave (or Z wave or Z‐wave) is a protocol for communication among devices used for home automation.
It utilizes RF for signaling and control.
Operating frequency is 908.42 MHz in the US & 868.42 MHz in Europe.
The mesh network topology is the main mode of operation.
It can support up to 232 nodes in a network.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs)

WSNs are a network of spatially distributed sensors that monitor physical or environmental conditions and wirelessly transmit the data collected.
Sensor nodes in WSNs are small, battery-powered devices with limited processing power and memory.
They typically operate in an unattended manner in a highly dense area.
They are autonomous, adaptive to the environment, and have low production cost.
Sensor nodes can be used for various applications like temperature measurement, humidity level, lighting condition, air pressure, soil makeup, noise level, and vibration.
WSNs face several challenges like scalability, coverage, energy efficiency, security, and reliability.
Information theoretic self-management (INTSEM) is a technique for controlling the transmission rate of a node by adjusting its sleep time.
INTSEM aims to reduce the consumption of transmission energy of transmitters and receiving energy of relay nodes.
Social sensing is an approach that leverages user interactions and social context to enhance WSNs.
Social sensing can be used to optimize duty cycles and improve energy efficiency in WSNs.

WSNs in the Context of Healthcare

WSNs can be integrated with health-related applications, including wearable sensors for patient monitoring.
Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) are commonly used in healthcare to collect physiological data.
WBANs face challenges in data privacy, security, and energy efficiency.
Dynamic decision-making models using fuzzy inference systems (FIS) and Markov decision processes (MDP) can be employed to optimize energy consumption of WBANs.
External factors like age, height, weight, and sex affect health parameters and should be considered during analysis.
