 I.INTRODUCTION

WE LIVE IN A MODERNIZED ERA NOWADAYS

FILLED WITH TECHNOLOGY, AND WITH THOSE
ENHANCEMENTS COME SOME DISADVANTAGES. WE
USUALLY SEE NEWS ON THE TELEVISION OR HEAR
IT FROM THE RADIO THAT MANY ACCIDENTS
RELATING TO FIRE OCCUR WITH THE INVOLVEMENT
OF THESE SAID TECHNOLOGIES. SOME ARE CAUSED
BY HUMAN ERRORS, BECAUSE OF
IRRESPONSIBILITY; FOR INSTANCE AN
INDIVIDUAL FORGOT TO TURN OFF AN APPLIANCE
AND LEFT HOME WHICH THEN LED INTO A FIRE.
WITH THE HELP OF A WIRELESS HOME AUTOMATED
SYSTEM (WHAS) THESE MISFORTUNES MAY BE
PREVENTED.
 IT WILL BE USED TO MAKE YOUR HOMES
SAFER TO LEAVE WITHOUT RISK. IF A PERSON
FORGETS TO TURN SOMETHING OFF HE CAN EASILY
DO SO BY USING HIS SMARTPHONE. IT CAN BE
CONTROLLED BY USING MICROWAVES FROM POINT
TO POINT. WIRELESS HOME CONTROLLER CAN
CONTROL HOME ELECTRONICS SUCH AS LIGHT
SWITCHES, THERMOSTATS, BLINDS/DRAPES,
APPLIANCE CONTROLS, ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND
ACCESS CONTROLS. IT ALSO CAN BE USED ON
YOUR SECURITY AND ALSO CAN WATCH YOUR
FAMILY, FRIENDS AND RELATIVES AT HOME WHEN
YOU’RE NOT HOME. THE WHAS HAS A LOW COST OF
INSTALLATION AT YOUR HOME.
 II. OPERATION

WIRELESS HOME AUTOMATED SYSTEM (WHAS)

VIA MICROWAVES THE PAIC (PACIFIC AUTOMATION
INNOVATED CORPORATION) THE COMPANY PROVIDER
SERVES AS THE SERVER OF WHAS. WHEN THE
CONSUMERS ENCODE A COMMAND DATA, THE
COMMAND DATA WILL TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE
SERVER OF THE PAIC THEN THE DATA THAT THE
SERVER RECEIVED WILL BE CONVERTED FROM
DIGITAL SIGNAL TO FREQUENCY WAVE SO THAT’S
WHERE THE UP CONVERTER WILL COME IN.
 AFTER THAT THE TRANSMITTER WILL
TRANSMIT THE FREQUENCY WAVE TO THE TOWER A
TO TOWER B THEN THE DOWN CONVERTER WILL
CONVERT THE FREQUENCY WAVE BACK TO DIGITAL
SIGNAL SO THE WHAS CONTROLLER MODEM CAN
READ THE COMMAND DATA. THEN AFTER THE DOWN
CONVERTER THE WHAS CONTROLLER MODEM WILL
RECEIVE THE COMMANDED DATA TO CONTROL THE
DEVICE THAT YOU WANTED.

 IV. FREQUENCY ALLOCATION

FREQUENCY ALLOCATION: 2.4GHZ (S- BAND)

THE FREQUENCY BAND OF THIS PROPOSAL IS
S - BAND UNDER THE STANDARDS OF IEEE,
BECAUSE S- BAND FREQUENCY HAS THE STANDARD
FREQUENCY FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS BY
USING MOBILE PHONES TO LONG-RANGE DISTANCES
OPERATION. S-BAND HAS A FREQUENCY RANGE OF
2GHZ TO 4 GHZ AND ALSO THE DATA
TRANSMISSION DISTANCE IS 10 UP TO 100
METERS OF LINE OF SIGHT BY THAT THE DATA
THAT TRANSMITTED THROUGH YOUR PHONE MAY
PASSED THROUGH TOWER TO TOWER
COMMUNICATION.
 V. FEASIBILITY:

CONVENTIONAL HOME AUTOMATION SOLUTIONS

ARE MOSTLY BASED ON POWER LINE OR WIRED
COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES. THESE ARE
COMPLEX, EXPENSIVE, INFLEXIBLE, AND
INVOLVED WITH TIME-CONSUMING INSTALLATIONS.
WIRELESS SOLUTIONS HAVE BECOME PROMINENT IN
HOME AUTOMATION AS THEY TAKE THE ADVANTAGE
OF BEING FLEXIBLE, EASIER TO IMPLEMENT
(PLUG AND PLAY NATURE), INTEROPERABLE AND
COST EFFECTIVE.
 HOWEVER SINCE MOST WIRELESS SMART
DEVICES ARE BATTERY POWERED, SOME PROVEN
WIRELESS STANDARDS [2] SUCH AS WIRELESS
WIDE AREA NETWORK (WWAN) AND WIRELESS LOCAL
AREA NETWORK (WLAN) HAVE BECOME UNFEASIBLE
DUE TO THEIR HIGH POWER CONSUMPTION.
SEVERAL ORGANIZATIONS HAVE CONTRIBUTED IN
DEVELOPING WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES TARGETING
HOME AND BUILDING AUTOMATIONS.
ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS WIFI AND BLUETOOTH.
 VI. VIABILITY:

ACCORDING TO THE LITERATURE, A

CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF STUDIES CAN BE FOUND
ON THE INTEGRATION OF EMERGING WHA
TECHNOLOGIES IN DIVERSE APPLICATION AREAS,
SUCH AS MEDICAL FIELD [3], ELDERLY CARE
SYSTEMS [4], INDUSTRIAL AND PROCESS CONTROL
[5], ETC. ALL THESE APPLICATIONS ARE BUILT
AROUND THE MOST APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY
DEFINED BY THEM, BUT NONE HAS DONE THE
EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGIES TO
FIND OUT THE MOST SUITABLE ONE FOR THEIR
APPLICATION.
 THE DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS NEED
DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS AND A PROTOCOL THAT
SUITS TO ONE APPLICATION MAY NOT SATISFY
THE REQUIREMENTS OF OTHER APPLICATIONS. FOR
EXAMPLE, A PROTOCOL PROVIDING LOWER NETWORK
SIZE IS SUITABLE FOR SMALL SCALE HOME
NETWORKS AND INAPPROPRIATE FOR LARGE SCALE
INDUSTRIAL NETWORKS. THEREFORE IT IS
NECESSARY TO EVALUATE THE TECHNOLOGIES
BASED ON THE PRACTICALLY INFLUENCING
PARAMETERS FOR SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS BEFORE
SELECTING THE MOST APPROPRIATE PROTOCOL. AS
THE LITERATURE REVEALS, THERE ARE SEVERAL
PRIOR WORK [6, 7] THAT COMPARE THE FEATURES
OF DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES WITHOUT AIMING ON
SPECIFIC APPLICATION SCENARIO.
 HOWEVER THOSE HAVE CONSIDERED ONLY FEW
TECHNOLOGIES IN THEIR COMPARISON AND NONE
OF THE RESEARCH COMPARED ALL THESE LATEST
TECHNOLOGIES; ZIGBEE[8], Z-WAVE[9],
BLUETOOTH [10], 6LOWPAN[11], INSTEON [12],
WAVENIS[13], UWB [14] WI-FI[15], AND
ENOCEAN[16], WHICH WE COMPARE IN THIS
ARTICLE. AND OUR FOCUSED APPLICATION
SCENARIO IS THE INTEGRATION OF WHA TO
MINING INDUSTRY, WHICH IS DISCUSSED FURTHER
IN NEXT SUB SECTION.
