IoT enabled sensor node

The goal of the project is.................................

=Problem Definition=

Background
The life of a citizen of the early 21st century takes place simultaneously in physical and cyber space. In couple of years more than 50 billion devices will connect more than 7.6 billion people with exponentially increasing connectivity demand. As the demand for data heavy wireless applications and services are increasing, the RF spectrum will get more congested resulting in slower wireless browsing or worse. This necessitates communication service technology to shift from fourth generation (4G) to fifth generation (5G). It is expected that the 5G will be deployed many part of the world by 2020. Comparing with the 4G, the 5G will offer new services with high quality of services (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE), high user capacity (1000x), higher data rates (100x), lower power (10x), and lower latency.

Deliverables
Minimum expectation is to design and verify a compact IoT enabled optical transceiver sensor nodes that could respond to commands received from OWC hub in visible spectrum, achieving up to 10m optical wireless communication (OWC) distance and more than 100Kb/s upload data rate with less than 10-3 BER as shown in Figure 1. Transmitter unit has to be able operate with off-grid power sources (i.e. battery) for extended period of time (i.e. weeks), and should be compact enough to be deployed remote locations. The unit should have smart processing (i.e. MCU), storage (i.e. store sensory data every hour for a month), and integrated sensor(s) (i.e. temperature, humidity, etc.). Available development
