Abstract

For the design of air interfaces (AIs) being suitable for typical WPAN application scenarios, it is important to consider the overall objective of MAGNET Beyond, namely to design, develop, demonstrate and validate the concept of a flexible Personal Network (PN) that supports resource-efficient, robust, ubiquitous personal services in a secure, heterogeneous networking environment for mobile users. As a consequence, two PAN-optimized AI solutions, one for high and one for low data rate applications, have been envisaged. The high data rate (HDR) PAN applications will be enabled by a multi-carrier spread spectrum (MC-SS) air-interface solution and a MAC layer scheme utilizing IEEE 802.15.3. For low data rate (LDR) applications, a low-power, low-complexity frequency modulation based UWB (FM-UWB) air-interface solution and a MAC layer based on IEEE 802.15.4 is proposed. A so-called Universal Convergence Layer (UCL) sits on top of the both AIs and is in charge of interfacing the LDR and HDR MAC layers with higher layer protocols. The structure of selected air interfaces is depicted schematically in Fig. 4.1.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The latencies can be further minimised if you forego the beacon environment and are willing to risk potential interference from accidental data interference from accidental data collision with other sensors on the network. Data latency can also affect battery life so for a truly low power sensor network it has to be as low as possible. For simple star networks (few clients, one network coordinator) latencies in the order of few ms can be expected.

  2. 2.

    This level of security as dictated in IEEE 802.15.4 is not implemented in the Magnet Beyond prototype.

  3. 3.

    ξ = Pd + P0 − Pr(pckt transmission error ∩ pckt excessively delayed) therefore max(Pd, P0) ≤ ξ ≤ Pd + P0. For small probabilities Pd and P0 this bound is quite tight, e.g., for Pd = P0 = 10 − 3 we have 10 − 3 ≤ ξ ≤ 2 ⋅10 − 3 whereas for Pd = 10 − 4 and P0 = 10 − 3 we have 10 − 3 ≤ ξ ≤ 1. 1 ⋅10 − 3.
