BlueVoice: Voice communications over Bluetooth Low Energy in the Internet of Things scenario

The main purpose of the work was to analyze sensory platform solutions for use on the Internet of Things. Emphasis was placed on the literature study on Sensor Platforms, Internet of Things, Bluetooth Low Energy Communication Protocol, serial digital and analog interfaces most commonly used in sensory platforms. Analysis of sensory platform solutions was carried out in terms of their functionality and efficiency. The SensorTag CC2650 sensing platform by Texas Instruments, turned out to be the best and has been used to build the hub model. The hub model was based on hardware and software implementation, which resulted in the expansion of the sensor platform with 6 additional analog inputs and a Bluetooth Low Energy data transmission profile. Testing the correctness of the software produced in the laboratory environment has made it possible to determine the correct functioning of the concentrator model.

Central Device

As the growth rate of the internet-of-things (IoT) sensor market is expected to exceed 30%, a technology that can easily collect and processing a large number of various types of sensor data is gradually required. However, conventional multilink IoT sensor communication based on Bluetooth low energy (BLE) enables only the processing of up to 19 peripheral nodes per central device. This study suggested an alternative to increasing the number of IoT sensor nodes while minimizing the addition of a central processor by expanding the number of peripheral nodes that can be processed per central device through a new group-switching algorithm based on Bluetooth low energy (BLE). Furthermore, this involves verifying the relevancy of application to the industry field. This device environment lowered the possibility of data errors and equipment troubles due to communication interference between central processors, which is a critical advantage when applying it to industry. The scalability and various benefits of a group-switching algorithm are expected to help accelerate various services via the application of BLE 5 wireless communication by innovatively improving the constraint of accessing up to 19 nodes per central device in the conventional multilink IoT sensor communication.

In this paper, a review on the LoRa antenna design for IoT application is studied. The expansion of the Internet of Things ( IoT) has led the industry to develop new communication solutions, as current protocols are inadequate in terms of scope and energy efficiency to satisfy IoT requirements. Before studying antenna design, some background LoRa and IoT were discussed at beginning of the paper. LoRaWAN is an open LPWAN standard developed by LoRa Alliance and has main characteristics such as low energy consumption, long-range communication, builtin protection and GPS-free positioning. Besides, a comparison according to the method, resonance frequency, material, size of the antenna and the output is shown in the form of table. In addition, the strength and the weakness of each of the antenna design were discussed before the end of the paper.
