Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a commonly used communication protocol that allows serial data transfer between a master and a slave device over a short distance. However, if we require just SPI over long distances currently there is no effective low-cost solution. A SerDes provides a solution to this shortcoming by sending parallel data as a serial transmission and converting it back at the receiver end. However, most of the current SerDes implementations are expensive to implement and cater to very high-speed applications, which is not the case in SPI. In this paper, we present a simple to implement and low cost SerDes solution for sending and receiving multiple SPI and GPIO lines. Our proposed solution makes use of a low cost CLPD / FPGA and is applicable for low data rate applications such as SPI. This paper investigates the simplest solution to the problem, whilst maintaining a reliable single wire / optical link. For testing, we have implemented three novel encoding schemes that all provided good results, each measured by performance against resource usage. One of these encoding schemes has shown a drop-out rate as low as 0.001% over a 24-hour period. Our proposed solution when used in conjunction with an optical fibre medium could potentially allow SPI transmission over several kilometres of distance.

This article presents the design and prototype implementation of a low-cost and short-range self-powered wireless IoT device based on energy harvesting for both indoor and outdoor applications. Prototyped devices are deployed in a star network configuration with a custom protocol. Based on measurements, devices achieve a line-of-sight range of 228.5m above 40m from the ground level. Nodes are powered based on energy harvesting from a small 0.36W solar panel and 120mAh lithium button cell as storage elements. The test in the well-lit room shows an average harvested power of 941.94µW over a period of 2.5 days, while under the low lighting conditions showed an average of 212µW over a period of 24h. From measurements, a fully charged rechargeable 120mAh cell lasts for 278 days with 55s transmission interval. Temperature, visible lights level and relative humidity sensors are integrated into the nodes.

Smart meters are promising towards increase in energy efficiency, but their installation needs significant infrastructure change, ranging from installation of new hardware units at individual households – a time consuming task, to creation of data servers to store the data available from these smart meters. The cost and time issue involved in this task has motivated us to devise a cost effective and portable hardware, capable of adding functionality of smart meters into traditional meters. This paper describes the method for measuring active power registered by traditional meters in real time. Considering the worst case as, cases when traditional meter registers less than 10 watt, the proposed system can provide its users with active power consumption data in 101.25 seconds as against monthly billing cycle of traditional meters. The proposed system uses LDR for sensing the frequency of LED present on the meter, which blinks at a frequency proportional to the active power registered by traditional meters. It also uses ESP8266-12e to compute the active power of load connected across traditional meter, from sensed value of blinking frequency of LED and store it in an online data server.

In applications such as image and video processing, the final output is interpreted by human eyes, which are insensible to small errors in the output. In these cases, approximate circuits play a vital role in achieving low power and high speed designs with small errors in the output. In this paper, three approximate full-adder designs are proposed and they are reused to design approximate Dadda multipliers. For generating partial products in the multiplier, a newly designed AND gate approach is proposed. All the proposed designs are simulated using 90nm UMC technology. The Simulation results indicate that the number of transistors and power consumption of approximate multipliers are reduced by 28% and 32% respectively as compared to conventional Dadda multiplier. This paper also analyses the errors at the multiplier output using different error metrics.

Analytical placer very often uses half-perimeter wirelength (HPWL) model as an objective function for solving placement problem. State-of-the-art iterative wirelength models for HPWL are log-sum-exp (LSE) [1], weighted average (WA) [2], (γ, q) [3] and CHMAX [4] wirelength models. In this paper, we propose an iterative wirelength model for HPWL providing smooth approximation to max function. The new max function is the difference of two convex functions. The error upper bound of proposed model is tighter than upper bound errors of existing iterative wirelength models. Integration of new model in analytical placement engine NTUplacer, reduces the final placement wirelength by 13%, 10%, 3% and 1.5% on an average on ISPD 2005 benchmark circuits as oppose to LSE, WA, (γ, q) and CHMAX models respectively.

The software/firmware running on the electronic devices is regularly updated. In IoT devices, the updates are performed Over the Air (OTA) through internet. In the absence of proper security measures, OTA update feature can be misused. The security threats like firmware reverse engineering, loading unauthorized firmware and loading authorized firmware on unauthorized nodes will lead to misuse of intellectual property, product cloning and denial of service attack. In this paper, we propose a security framework the microcontroller/SoC devices can incorporate for secure in-field OTA firmware update process. The proposed holistic solution support JTAG security, protecting IP rights of original device manufacturer (ODM) and secure OTA update. The security framework is designed using suitable cryptographic algorithms and protocol measures to address all the security threats connected with OTA firmware/software update which is not addressed in the past techniques.

In this work, we consider the problem of designing a state of the art energy-efficient wireless sensor network (WSN) practically deployed in a large field. The sensor nodes (SNs) are tasked to monitor a large region of interest (ROI) and report their test statistics to the fusion center (FC) over a wireless fading channel. To maximize the lifetime of the WSN and enable long range communication with minimal transmit power, the long range wide area network (LoRaWAN) communication protocol is adopted. Each of the SN is designed and enabled with several state of the art sensors in order to estimate different and diverse parameters of interest (e.g., soil moisture, soil temperature, and salinity at different soil depth; barometric pressure, ambient humidity, leaf wetness, and etc.). The core feature of the proposed solution is that the SNs learn and adopt over the sensing time. This is very important in extending the operational lifetime of the WSN. The proposed system is validated through the infield experiments using few concept devices. Experimental results show that the proposed WSN features an effective large ROI monitoring with minimal number of SNs, a significantly reduced SN transmission power required and thus an extended WSN operational lifetime.
在这项工作中,我们考虑的问题是设计一个最先进的节能无线传感器网络(WSN),实际部署在一个大的领域。传感器节点(SNs)的任务是监测一个大的兴趣区域(ROI),并通过无线衰落信道向融合中心(FC)报告它们的测试统计数据。为了最大限度地提高无线传感器网络的寿命,以最小的发射功率实现远程通信,采用了LoRaWAN (long range wide area network)通信协议。每个SN都设计并启用了几个最先进的传感器,以估计不同的和不同的感兴趣的参数(例如,土壤湿度,土壤温度和盐度在不同的土壤深度;气压、环境湿度、叶片湿度等)。该解决方案的核心特征是网络在感知时间内学习和适应。这对于延长WSN的使用寿命是非常重要的。采用少量概念装置,通过内场实验验证了该系统的有效性。实验结果表明,所提出的WSN能够以最少的SN个数有效地监测大ROI,显著降低了SN传输功率,延长了WSN的工作寿命。

The goal in non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) is to design a system/method which accepts aggregate data of energy consumption measured using smart meters as its input and provide an appliance level breakdown of aggregated energy consumption as its output. For practical usefulness of NILM solution there is an additional mandatory requirement viz. to map its output to appliance name recognized by humans. In this paper we adapt CNN architecture of deep neural nets for non-intrusive appliance identification which is a sub-problem for practically useful NILM. Further energy informatics, NILM and energy disaggregation terms have been heavily used in literature but to the best of our knowledge no concrete distinction between them has been specified. This is first work to synthesize the link between energy informatics, NILM and energy disaggregation. We have proposed NILM as one subject under the research subfield of energy informatics and energy disaggregation as a method for implementing NILM. Further, we also give a representation of method for Energy Disaggregation, which uniquely defines whole method, and is also coherently able to represent ideas of previous work.
