Wi-design: A modelling and optimization tool for wireless embedded systems in buildings

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsConference proceedingpeer-review

Abstract

As wireless embedded systems become more and more common and used across many application domains there is a need for modeling and design tools to support the deployment process. Although a significant amount of research has been carried out in the area of protocol design, middleware and energy, packaging and embedded systems design, there remains a lack of support tools for designers and system integrators when deploying complex indoor wireless infrastructures (Wi) to support site specific applications. In this paper we present a modeling tool known as Wi-Design that was developed to provide deployment support for engineers and system integrators when planning a wireless sensor infrastructure with particular focus on in building wireless applications. We show how the tool can simplify the deployment process and provide enhanced confidence in wireless deployments.
