A Protocol Gateway for the Internet of Things
Motivation and Informal Description:The Low-power Wireless Bus (LWB) [1] is a state-of-the-art protocol that provides robust and
energy efficient data dissemination through arbitrary multi-hop wireless sensor networks. The uniqueproperties of the LWB make it ideal for supporting the low-power communication demands of emergingInternet of Things (IoT) applications. However, in order to provide interaction between the wirelesssensor network and the end-user, a protocol gateway between the LWB and a smart-phone compatiblecommunication interface, such as the BlueTooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol stack, is needed.
The goal of this semester thesis is to design, develop and evaluate a protocol gateway that supportsthe exchange of messages between the LWB and BLE protocol stacks. The proposed system architec-ture is illustrated in Figure 1. Message exchange between the LWB and a BLE-enabled processor isfacilitated by the recently developed BOLT processor interconnect [2].
