Workplace Applications of Sensor Networks
Intel R&D and USC/ISI 2004
Motivation To improve workplace productivity
Existing sensors Thermometers, barometers, safety monitors Isolated, for a single application
+ Emerging sensor network technology
In ubiquitous, ad-hoc deployment Dynamic user interaction
Outline Hardware
App-1:Conference Room Scheduling
App-2:Follow-Me Guidance
Challenges
Hardware Sensor nodes: Mica2, Mica-Z, Telos Display nodes: LED,LCD Handheld nodes: PDA Gateway nodes: Stargate
Conference Room Scheduling Objective: To assist workers to find
conference rooms in a dynamic way. Bi-directional information transmission:
Sensing: Gather room status information Actuation: Forward reservation information
Follow-Me Guidance Objective:
To guide visitors.
Key innovation: Use “deployment order approach” to configure the network in a logical topology.
Logical Topology
Sensor Deployment
More on Follow-MeDeployment order approach
1) Linear Paths: in a sequential way
2) Intersection: manually handling
Challenges Power: Power outlet Vs Battery
Communication Protocols: Topology-aware protocol Synchronization protocol
More User Interaction To guide multiple visitors at the same time
in Follow-Me
