Environmental monitoring and air-conditioning automatic control with intelligent building wireless sensor network

Abstract

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is the connection between the physical world and mankind. Particularly, environmental monitoring and devices automatic control of intelligent building based on wireless sensor network is considered as one of the most crucial applications. It can perceive many kinds of environmental parameters and feedback control information to some devices to provide comfortable environment to people. However, it is difficult to deploy a WSN in the buildings because there usually are many wireless LAN devices used in the buildings, which bring serious frequency interferences. In this paper, we conduct a real intelligent building wireless sensor network (IBWSN) for environmental monitoring and air-conditioning automatic control. In order to ensure the effectiveness of this system, actual spectrum analysis is developed. Performance evaluation proves that the presented IBWSN can satisfy the needs of the proposed applications.
