A Time Quanta Bit coding method

Abstract

This paper discusses a new method of coding and/or decoding data for wireless transmission, particularly for radio transmitted data, and examines the equipment needed for the actual implementation of the technique. The authors describe in detail the principle of the proposed approach, including possible benefits of its implementation in wireless sensor networks, and compare the given concept with the most widely used Manchester coding method. When implemented, the Time Quanta Bit coding method increases the communication range and shortens the necessary transmission time, which, in the case of battery-operated devices as a typical representative of the wireless sensor node, allows for longer operation time. The described technique can significantly improve the quality of wireless communication in small wireless sensor networks where the communication is based on infrequent small packet transfers; such target applications then include, for example, home and office automation wireless sensor networks, safety systems, street lighting, industrial manufacturing and management, and telemetry.
