A scalable intelligent room based on wireless sensor networks and RFIDs
Ivan Cabrera Altamirano, Francisco Rodríguez Henríquez · 2010
We present the analysis, design and implementation of an intelligent classroom whose two main components are realized using two emergent wireless technologies, namely, wireless sensor networks and Radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags. The combination of these two technologies produces a powerful and versatile solution that can offer automated access control to a classroom as well as the monitoring of relevant environment variables such as temperature, humidity and room lighting. We claim that our architecture is readily scalable to a set of interconnected classrooms, by means of a routing protocol especially designed for achieving a multi-hop communication network.
