Hi All, I would like to understand the real importance of "start frame delimitor" in a wireless protocol. Especially why do we need a fixed pattern like SFD when we already do some pattern matching to detect the beginning of frame in wireless? Why do some protocols have a SFD and some dont ? Is it jsut purely a matter of choice ? regs ashu


Large Wireless networks?

The task is to create a large (up to 10k nodes) ad-hoc wireless network covering the area of several sq. km, so there is a need for many retransmission hops. The nodes are not moving; however the network should be able to reconfigure itself once a node is added or deleted. The communication in the network is always initiated by a single dedicated master. The master needs to collect...

Hi. I am having a wireless network developed. The implementation provides for API's to send and receive data from many nodes talking to a PC over a "master" node (i.e. we are responsible for the application protocol and the contractor is responsible for the PHY/MAC/NWK layers). The deliverables are hardware "nodes" and a software component that runs on the PC and gives the application acces...

Dear Sirs, I'm considering now my final year project on electronics eng. The project is a wireless indoor network of inexpensive low-power devices, that have to communicate with a main unit, connected to PC. Following is the description of this network: 1) The number of network devices is big, say 1000-2000 2) There is no a need that the devices talk one to each other. The only necesarry ...

We are designing a wireless trigger system for our acquisition devices. The purpose of the trigger system is to remotely start two independent systems at the same time. We are envisioning the operatior starting the two system with a "keyfob" or similar device. The latency from when the button is pressed to the systems are triggered should be less than 1s. The time difference between the tr...

I need to develop a product and a feel that a SBC is the best for what i need to do. I need the SBC to be powerful enough to run full-screen video (at 600 x 800) but also cheap. My system requirements are stereo audio outputs, CF Card/PCMCIA (for wireless networking, or similar connection for wireless networking), 2 serial ports, and LVDS outputs for video. What SBC would be best for me? Than...


Feasibility of the VERY low power wireless network?

There is a network of ~100 wireless sensors, communicating to a single host. All sensors are located within ~50..100m from the host in the typical urban environment. Ideally, it would be desirable to poll each sensor at least 10 times/sec. When polling the sensors, we have to get just several bits of the status information from each sensor. Problem: as sensors are battery powered, the...

Hello NG, In a machine we currently use up to 100 nodes (most installations use under 64 though) on a CAN bus. These nodes are moving along rails and are connected with wire loops. For ease of installation (and node replacement) and cleaning up the wire tangle, we are investigating a wireless or power line system. The 24V DC power can be supplied with sliding contacts but due to space rest...

Hi, I've just finished my RFM70 based wireless guitar system (I hope to publish it soon, but code and documentation needs some polishing - the system is designed to be very cheap - just CS5343/4 as ADC, ATmega88 and RFM70 in the transmitter, and RFM70 with ATmega32u4 in the receiver. The system is visible as USB MIDI/audio device so you can connect it thorough "alsa_in" to "jakcd...

We have a device that collects data from vehicles. Currently the data is transferred to office with GSM modems. Some customers would like to avoid the costs involved to this option and have another wireless method to transfer the data. GPRS is not acceptable solution, there should not be any costs at all. In this case the vehicles visit a terminal regualiry, so short/medium rang...
