Abstract

The emergence of many internet industries ushers in IOT era, and about to bring us to the point of universal connectivity. In the field of education, the IOT technology has a broad applicable prospect for a more interactive and intelligent way by improving the quality of teaching and management. The proposed class affair management system is mean to enrich the interaction between lecturers and students which in an efficient and smart way. Based on the existing model, a layered architecture is proposed to build the beacon based campus management system. Backend device and protocols compose the physical layer to collect the raw data from physical objects. Data link layer and control layer are responsible for forming required package and sending to corresponding layer. Beacon technology used for proposed design applies Bluetooth low energy 4.0 standard which allowing devices exchange data through Bluetooth at an extremely low power consumption-using a single coin cell battery can last for several years. Saved up to 97 percentage energy compared with similar system. The entire proposed platform allows participants to bring personally owned devices to access campus management system. Through location information, teaching activities and personalized information notification can be automatically accomplished, which will inspire the innovation and development of classroom teaching mode. Beacon technology has a great potential that can be completely transplanted into other scenario such as the hypermarket and library.

Abstract

This paper presented the energy harvester circuit to enable wireless charging method. The wireless RF spectrum is abundant and potent in the public locations, which can be used for energy harvesting purpose. This is supported by the fact that RF signals are ubiquitous and do not require propagation media of any sort. The system is developed using optimal antenna, matching circuit and charge pump circuit. The 2x2 array type patch antenna operated at 924 MHz is designed and simulated using High Frequency Simulator. The antenna works as a transducer to capture and measure the RF signals from freely available energy source. The field study was conducted at three different highly populated locations such as place of education, place of residence, and place of transport using Software Defined Radio (SDR). The respective acquired RF energy values are -10.45 dBFS (morning), -10.45 dBFS (noon), and -13.33 dBFS (night) at the place of transport for the demonstration purpose. The antenna parameters study also conducted and proved that the antenna gain is good which is greater than 6.6 dB and also return loss greater than -43dB. In addition, charge pump circuit is designed and shown to be capable of boosting the voltage more than 2.5 V easily at the different frequencies for wireless charging purpose.
