Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments

31
Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMs) are essential tools in modern surveying, offering precise distance measurements by emitting electromagnetic signals and calculating the time required for these signals to travel to a target and return. Two primary types of signals are used in EDMs — light waves and microwaves — each suited to specific environmental and distance requirements. Light-wave-based EDMs utilize either infrared or laser light, providing high accuracy over short...

Area of Science:

  • Wireless Sensor Networks
  • Real-time Data Acquisition
  • Embedded Systems

Background:

  • Accurate synchronization is critical for real-time data acquisition in wireless sensor networks (saWSNs).
  • Existing solutions often struggle with high power consumption and limited synchronization accuracy.
  • The need for energy-efficient and precise data synchronization protocols is growing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose an energy-efficient and high-accuracy sampling synchronization approach for saWSNs.
  • To develop a proprietary protocol leveraging time-division multiple access (TDMA) and deep energy-efficient coding.
  • To validate the proposed approach through experimental testing on a real saWSN model.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a proprietary TDMA-based protocol with optimized sensor firmware coding.
  • Implementation and experimental testing of a saWSN model using nRF52832 SoC sensors.
  • Evaluation of synchronization accuracy, power consumption, CPU load, and transmission reliability.

Main Results:

  • Achieved sampling synchronization accuracy of 0.8 μs.
  • Demonstrated ultra-low power consumption of 15 μW per 1 kb/s throughput.
  • Reported low CPU load (<2%) and high transmission reliability (PER ≤ 0.18%).
  • Significant improvements in accuracy (several times) and power consumption (hundreds of times) compared to prior studies.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed protocol offers a lightweight, stable, and computationally efficient solution for saWSNs.
  • It provides a significant technical advantage over existing methods in terms of accuracy and energy efficiency.
  • The approach is well-suited for real-time synchronous data acquisition applications demanding low power and high precision.
