Power Budget

Low Power?:

I LG Nexus 5: 2300 mAh / day ?!!!

I Raspberry pi: 500 mAh

I TelosB

Application Driven:

I e.g.: 1 year on coin cell (220 mAh)

I e.g.: ”the lifetime of the bird andweight ≤ 1 gram”

I e.g.: 2 year on 1/2 AA 3.6V battery(1100 mAh) → 62µAh/day

Power Consumption: e.g. BLE

I 3 x 12.8 mA x 660 µs (0dBm)

I 0.00704 µAh / beacon

I iBeacon: 10 msg/s

I → 253.44 µAh

→ ± 1 month with a coincell battery

DASH7

Active RFID Standard for 433 MHz.

I Build on top of asynchronous WSN MAC.

I High level functionality optimized for RFID.

I Defines full functional RFID tag.

I Can be extended to non RFID applications.

Supports Tag to Tag communication.DASH7 Alliance Protocol is designed to support fixed and mobilenodes that need to upload or retrieve small chunks of information
