A Design of Low Rate Wireless Sensor Network Coordinator with Multi-Network Using Single Processor

Abstract

This paper presents the development of a low rate wireless sensor network coordinator with multi-network. This research used small embedded micro controller. The system can expand into multi network and work with single processor. This design will reduce components and power assumption. The research use Propeller Chip by Parrallax Inc. This chip contains eight processors inside. All eight processors can perform tasks simultaneously or with coordination from other processors. It comprised of zigbee chip to perform wireless sensor network that work with 802.15.4 protocol. Experimental results show that we can use single microcontroller work with multi-network. It can monitor result of network directly from Propeller chip by generating computer monitor signal.
