Design of a ZigBee based WSN with channel coding for energy and temperature monitoring
This paper has two objectives. First, to design and implement a prototype of WSN for monitoring power as well as temperature in buildings. Second, to evaluate the amount of improvement introduced to the ZigBee transceiver when channel coding method is used. The results indicated that the use of ZigBee based WSN in electric power monitoring provides flexibility and helps in reducing power consumption. Furthermore, the simulation results show that using Convolutional Coding (CC) in ZigBee transceiver gives better performance compared to traditional ZigBee transceivers specially at CC of code rate 1/8.
