Medición del consumo de energía en un nodo sensor inalámbrico en la transmisión de video sobre IPv6 en aplicaciones de domótica

Abstract

The vertiginous advance of the technology experimented in the last years has contributed of an effective way to the development of the domotic in aspects so daily as the lighting, air conditioning, security, etc. That is why many new applications appear with the passing of days. However, domotic applications that use the IPv6 protocol (Internet Protocol version 6) do not yet exist in the market, this is because the use of this protocol in the home networks has not yet been generalized. On the other hand, the use of batteries as a power source for wireless sensor nodes is common because they must remain in remote locations and in operation for long periods of time. This limits the time of activity of this type of nodes. This project implements an application that works with the IPv6 protocol in the domotics field, using the Intel Edison platform and the use of batteries. Likewise, measurements are taken to calculate the power consumption when transmitting video over the IPv6 network.
