Graduate Seminar on Low Power Wireless Networks

Post date: Sep 11, 2012 8:26:16 PM

Come join us for an exciting talk by Fred Martin of Sunrise Micro Devices on low-power wireless networks.

Title: "Low Power Wireless Networks: Design, Protocols, Applications, and Research Opportunities" [Presentation Slides]

Abstract: Low-power wireless networks based on standards such as ZigBee and Bluetooth Smart will become ubiquitous in the next few years. Important applications include health monitoring, automated building control, location, tracking and inventory control. These low power networks and the devices that support them differ in several ways from their more familiar cousins, such as WIFi and LTE. Key among these differences is the emphasis on cost and power rather than on throughput and quality of service. In this presentation, we will explore differences in emphasis that make low power wireless networks unique and useful. We will highlight ways in which this different emphasis impacts the design of hardware and protocols. We will look at future research opportunities for low-power wireless networks.
