Assignment Description
Wireless sensors and actuators connected by the Internet of Things (IoT) are central to the design of
cyber-physical systems. Such systems require meeting strict requirements of throughput, latency and
ange, while maintaining low energy consumption and providing high levels of security. Wireless
communication technologies provide a platform for the foundation of such systems. Understanding
of the wireless communication principles and the wireless communication standards for cyber
physical systems and internet of things is essential for the design of such systems.
For further reading, could refer to the article “Wireless Communication and Security Issues for Cyber–
Physical Systems and the Internet-of-Things” [1]. The article is available on the IEEE Explore platform,
which could be accessed via the Melbourne Institute of Technology Li
ary.
The assessment requires the students to compare wireless communication technologies and
evaluate the wireless communication standards for wireless cyber physical systems and internet of
things. The students are required to submit a report, which includes:
1. Comparison of wireless communication technologies in terms of:
a. Communication spectrum
. modulation techniques
c. medium access control mechanism
d. network topologies
2. Evaluate wireless communication standards for cyber physical systems and internet of things
including:
a. UHF RFID and NFC
. ZigBee, Z-Wave
c. Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy
d. Cellular Systems
e. IEEE 802.11P
f. Low-Power Wide Area Networks
3. Wireless Network Performance
Based on your evaluation of wireless communication standards for cyber physical systems
and internet of things, identify the standard which provides the best network performance.
Justify your selection.
