Introducing Students To Communications Concepts Using Optical And Low-Power Wireless Devices, James M. Conrad, Ivan Howitt

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Wireless communication has become an important feature for commercial products and a popular research topic within the last ten years. There are now more mobile phone subscriptions than wired-line subscriptions. Lately, one area of commercial interest has been low-cost, low-power, and short-distance wireless communication used for "personal wireless networks." Technology advancements are providing smaller and more cost effective devices for integrating computational processing, wireless communication, and a host of other functionalities. These embedded communications devices will be integrated into applications ranging from homeland security to industry automation and monitoring. They will also enable custom tailored engineering solutions, creating a revolutionary …

Using Rfid And Bluetooth For Localised Interaction With Wireless Embedded Internet Devices, Matthew D'Souza, Montserrat Ros, Adam Postula Jan 2006

Using Rfid And Bluetooth For Localised Interaction With Wireless Embedded Internet Devices, Matthew D'Souza, Montserrat Ros, Adam Postula

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

Interaction with embedded devices can take on many forms. This paper describes the implementation of an interactive information network and intuitive mechanisms for the personal or home environment using Bluetooth wireless communication and Radio Frequency ID (RFID) tag technology. This approach combines the freedom associated with wireless communication and the ability to detect user commands by RFID location information. Embedded Access Points are described along with intuitive mechanisms including digital pen/paper, interactive information board and mobile computing devices. Specifically, the web access point facilitated an Internet over Bluetooth link and was found to provide an average data rate of 15.97kbps. …
