Scaling Down The Energy Cost Of Connecting Everyday Objects To The Internet, Mohammad Rostami
Scaling Down The Energy Cost Of Connecting Everyday Objects To The Internet, Mohammad Rostami
Doctoral Dissertations
The Internet of Things (IoT) promises new opportunities for better monitoring and control of thousands of objects and sensors in households and industrial applications. The viability of large-scale IoT is, however, still a challenge given that the most widely known options for connecting everyday objects, i.e. duty-cycled active radios such as WiFi, Bluetooth and Zigbee, are power-hungry and increase the cost of deployment and maintenance of the connected devices. The main argument of this thesis is that passive radios that use backscatter communication, which has been used primarily for RFIDs, can fill this gap as an ultra-low power replacement for …

The Internet has grown to support many vital functions, but it is not administered by any central authority. Rather, the many smaller networks that make up the Internet - called Autonomous Systems (ASes) - independently manage their own distinct host address space and routing policy. Routers at the borders between ASes exchange information about how to reach remote IP prefixes with neighboring networks over the control plane with the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). This inter-AS communication connects hosts across AS boundaries to build the illusion of one large, unified global network - the Internet. Unfortunately, BGP is a dated protocol …
