Reliability and Scalability of Wireless Kilavi Building Control Platform

چکیده
Building is a harsh environment for reliable wireless communication and thus special means are needed for wireless sensor networking. This paper presents Kilavi wireless building control platform that provides a unified method to link up different kinds of building control applications. Kilavi platform is intended for low-power and low data rate autonomous communication between sensors and actuators. Network master with plenty of storage and computation capacity manages network routing, cluster formation and security procedures. This centralized approach shifts network load away from simple and resourceconstrained sensor and actuator nodes, thus enabling low power sensor node operation. Sensor network offers the ambient intelligence to integrated building. Network reliability and scalability together with energy-efficiency and flexibility are amongst the primary qualities that sensor network platform should offer to applications. This paper concentrates on reliability and scalability of Kilavi in variable network topologies and conditions. Key-Words: Building control, Intelligent building, Kilavi platform, Middleware, Reliability, Scalability, Sensor networks, Wireless communication
