5. CONCLUSION
In
this paper, a new communicating paradigm for precast
concrete is presented to store and retrieve data during its
lifecycle. This paradigm is developed through uniformly
integrating thousands of micro-sensor nodes in the concrete.
The data is stored and then retrieved using multi-hop
communication protocols for WSN, called respectively USEE
and RaWPG. The paper presents
the instrumentation of the
WSN inside the concrete. Then, the paper presents the
performances evaluation of USEE and RaWPG protocols,
based on the case study of the precast concrete lifecycle
management, in terms of storage uniformity,
storage
capacity, response delivery rate, and average delay. The
simulation results show that USEE and RaWPG meet the
constraints of data lifecycle management of precast concrete.
Finally, the WSN lifetime inside the concrete is estimated
through energy analysis. The WSN lifetime could be ensured
for the entire precast concrete lifecycle by only 350mAh.
Our future work will be focused on testing the protocols
USEE and RaWPG in real concrete brick application. The
radio signal propagation inside
such real material will be
evaluated. Indeed, different performance metrics will be
studied such as the lost packet ratio to evaluate their impacts
on the data storage uniformity, the data retrieval reliability,
and the energy consumption.
