An Abstract of Implement Wi-Fi Data transmission with microcontroller and Wi-Fi CompactFlash card by Haoyue Li Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering The University of Toledo May 201 Wi-Fi (short for "wireless fidelity") is a term used to explain certain types of wireless local area networks (WLANs) that use specifications in the 802.11 family. IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) is the most widely used wireless communication technology. This thesis presents an idea explaining how to build a Wi-Fi data transmission system based on the PIC18LF6722 microcontroller and a CompactFlash card with Wi-Fi capability (XTERASYS CWB1K). The proposed system uses a Wi-Fi data transmission system capable of sending data packets through user datagram protocol (UDP) to a laptop computer with Wi-Fi capability. The experimental results indicate that it is possible to build a data transmission module using inexpensive and simple components. This provides a simple and inexpensive design of data transmission for use in areas like real- time measuring and monitoring when combined with a sensing system. iii For my parents, and friends. iv Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisor Dr. Vijay Devabhaktuni and co-advisor Dr. Mansoor Alam, for giving me the opportunity conduct my master‟s research under their guidance.

When result of a particular test is declared it contains data of all students, when you find the marks you have scored you have the information that lets you know whether you have passed or failed. The word data refers to any information which is presented in a form that is agreed and accepted upon by is creators and users. Data Communication Data Communication is a process of exchanging data or information In case of computer networks this exchange is done between two devices over a transmission medium. This process involves a communication system which is made up of hardware and software. The hardware part involves the sender and receiver devices and the intermediate devices through which the data passes. The software part involves certain rules which specify what is to be communicated, how it is to be communicated and when. It is also called as a Protocol. The following sections describe the fundamental characteristics that are important for the effective working of data communication process and are followed by the components that make up a data communications system.

  • The OSI Model
    Data Encapsulation & OSI & TCP/IP Models Week 2 Lecturer: Lucy White [email protected] Office : 324 1 Network Protocols • A protocol is a formal description of a set of rules and conventions that govern a particular aspect of how devices on a network communicate. Protocols determine the format, timing, sequencing, flow control and error control in data communication. Without protocols, the computer cannot make or rebuild the stream of incoming bits from another computer into the original format. • Protocols control all aspects of data communication, which include the following: - How the physical network is built - How computers connect to the network - How the data is formatted for transmission - The setting up and termination of data transfer sessions - How that data is sent - How to deal with errors 2 Protocol Suites & Industry Standard • Many of the protocols that comprise a protocol suite reference other widely utilized protocols or industry standards • Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) or the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) • The use of standards in developing and implementing protocols ensures that products from different manufacturers can work together for efficient communications 3 Function of Protocol in Network Communication A standard is a process or protocol that has been endorsed by the networking industry and ratified by a standards organization 4 Protocol Suites TCP/IP Protocol Suite and Communication Function of Protocol in Network Communication 6 Function of Protocol in Network Communication • Technology independent Protocols -Many diverse types of devices can communicate using the same sets of protocols. This is because protocols specify network functionality, not the underlying technology to support this functionality.

  • Logical Link Control and Channel Scheduling for Multichannel Underwater Sensor Networks
    ICST Transactions on Mobile Communications and Applications Research Article Logical Link Control and Channel Scheduling for Multichannel Underwater Sensor Networks Jun Li ∗, Mylene` Toulgoat, Yifeng Zhou, and Louise Lamont Communications Research Centre Canada, 3701 Carling Avenue, Ottawa, ON. K2H 8S2 Canada Abstract With recent developments in terrestrial wireless networks and advances in acoustic communications, multichannel technologies have been proposed to be used in underwater networks to increase data transmission rate over bandwidth-limited underwater channels. Due to high bit error rates in underwater networks, an efficient error control technique is critical in the logical link control (LLC) sublayer to establish reliable data communications over intrinsically unreliable underwater channels. In this paper, we propose a novel protocol stack architecture featuring cross-layer design of LLC sublayer and more efficient packet- to-channel scheduling for multichannel underwater sensor networks. In the proposed stack architecture, a selective-repeat automatic repeat request (SR-ARQ) based error control protocol is combined with a dynamic channel scheduling policy at the LLC sublayer. The dynamic channel scheduling policy uses the channel state information provided via cross-layer design. It is demonstrated that the proposed protocol stack architecture leads to more efficient transmission of multiple packets over parallel channels. Simulation studies are conducted to evaluate the packet delay performance of the proposed cross-layer protocol stack architecture with two different scheduling policies: the proposed dynamic channel scheduling and a static channel scheduling. Simulation results show that the dynamic channel scheduling used in the cross-layer protocol stack outperforms the static channel scheduling. It is observed that, when the dynamic channel scheduling is used, the number of parallel channels has only an insignificant impact on the average packet delay.

  • Data Networks
    Second Ed ition Data Networks DIMITRI BERTSEKAS Massachusetts Institute of Technology ROBERT GALLAGER Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology PRENTICE HALL, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey 07632 2 Node A Node B Time at B --------- Packet 0 Point-to-Point Protocols and Links 2.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter first provides an introduction to the physical communication links that constitute the building blocks of data networks. The major focus of the chapter is then data link control (i.e., the point-to-point protocols needed to control the passage of data over a communication link). Finally, a number of point-to-point protocols at the network, transport, and physical layers are discussed. There are many similarities between the point-to-point protocols at these different layers, and it is desirable to discuss them together before addressing the more complex network-wide protocols for routing, flow control, and multiaccess control. The treatment of physical links in Section 2.2 is a brief introduction to a very large topic. The reason for the brevity is not that the subject lacks importance or inherent interest, but rather, that a thorough understanding requires a background in linear system theory, random processes, and modem communication theory. In this section we pro­ vide a sufficient overview for those lacking this background and provide a review and perspective for those with more background. 37 38 Point-to-Point Protocols and Links Chap. 2 In dealing with the physical layer in Section 2.2, we discuss both the actual com­ munication channels used by the network and whatever interface modules are required at the ends of the channels to transmit and receive digital data (see Fig 2.1).

  • Sharing a Common Medium: Media Access Protocols
    MIT 6.02 DRAFT Lecture Notes Fall 2010 (Last update: October 18, 2010) Comments, questions or bug reports? Please contact [email protected] LECTURE 10 Sharing a Common Medium: Media Access Protocols These are the lecture notes for Lectures 10 and 11 in Fall 2010. In this course so far, we have studied various techniques to develop a point-to-point link between two nodes communicating over a channel. The link includes techniques to: synchronize the receiver with the sender; ensure that there are enough transitions between voltage levels (e.g., using 8b/10b encoding); to cope with inter-symbol interference and noise; and to use channel coding to correct and detect bit errors. There are many communication channels, notably radio (wireless) and certain kinds of wired links (coaxial cables), where multiple nodes can all be connected and hear each other’s transmissions (either perfectly or to varying degrees). The next few lectures ad- dress the fundamental question of how such a common communication channel—also called a shared medium—can be shared between the different nodes. We will study two fundamental ways of sharing a medium: time sharing and frequency sharing. The idea in time sharing is to have the nodes coordinate with each other to divide up the access to the medium one at a time, in some fashion. The idea in frequency sharing is to divide up the frequency range available between the different transmitting nodes in a way that there is little or no interference between concurrently transmitting nodes. This lecture and the next one focus on approaches to time sharing.

  • Data Communication
    Data Communication: • Exchanging data over some transmission medium. • Four important characteristics: 1) Data delivery safe and accurate to the correct destination 2) Timeliness: On time delivery without “jittering”(variation in arrival time) especially for audio and video data. Major components of DC: Figure 1.1 Five components of data communication 1.3 1) Message: Information to be communicated: text, numbers, pictures, audio, video. 2) Senders: devices that transmits the data messages: computers, telephones, TV stations, cameras, etc. 3) Receivers: devices that receives the data messages: computers, telephones, TV sets, etc. 4) Transmission medium: Physical links that carries the communicated data, TP, coaxial, fibers, radio waves, etc 5) Protocol for DC: Set of rules that govern DC, syntax and semantics. Data are text, Numbers, Images, Audio, and video. Data Flow: Figure 1.2 Data flow (simplex, half-duplex, and full-duplex) 1.4 Data flow between communication devices as follows: a) Simplex (one way only). b) Half Duplex (H/D) (Bidirectional on one links). c) Full Duplex (F/D) (Bidirectional on two links). Networks: Set of nodes connected via physical links for the purpose of: 1) Distributing Processing: dividing a large task over a network of computers. 2) Sharing Data vs. centralization: shared access of data-banks (and other resources) among network of computers. 3) Security and robustness: distributed computers approach is for more security and reliability/dependability. Network Criteria: 1) Performance Response time -- user level inquiry/response speed, function of network size, links' (medium) quality, and relays' hardware and protocols. At a lower level, factors: packets' throughput (number of successful delivered packet per unit time) and delay (source- destination delay encountered by a packet travelling through the network-- typically dynamic, i.e., varying with time) are also used to measure networks performance.
