Summary of the thesis by Debasish Ghose:
Protocol Design and Performance Evaluation of Wake-up Radio enabled IoT Networks
As an emerging technology, the Internet of things (IoT) is playing a pivotal role towards the digital transformations of many societal sectors.
The cost of IoT devices is decreasing due to the rapid development of sensor technology.
Energy-consumption as a bottleneck
However, a bottleneck for massive deployment of IoT may be the ability to provide these devices with energy that will last the entire lifetime of the chipset.
In many IoT applications, devices will only transmit and receive a small amount of data rarely, i.e., a few times in a day. In general, sleeping mechanism of sensor nodes is adopted to reduce energy consumption in IoT networks. Such periodic/aperiodic sleeping is not very efficient in terms of latency and energy efficiency.
Figure: Wake-up Radio enabled IoT networks.
Imagine a receiver in a very low power mode that would, in a magical way, wake up just in time for the data to be received. Yes, this magic is happening with “Wake-up Radio” technology.
Wake-up Radio has been emerged to eliminate the energy wastage of IoT device.
Performance improvement
In the thesis, we mainly focused on the performance improvement of wake-up radio enabled IoT networks from data link layer perspectives.
We proposed several medium access control mechanisms, transmission protocols, relay selection schemes to improve the performance of wake-up radio enabled IoT networks.
