This week it’s time to look at what Khojiakbar Botirov (ESR10) from University of Oulu is doing in his research project. Khojiakbar created a video to explain his project, his on-going activities and his goals.
Khojiakbar is working on Edge computing and communication for Light-based IoT (LIoT). The concept of LIoT, introduced by Prof. Katz, utilizes indoor light to power-up energy-autonomous nodes and provide wireless connectivity through Visible Light Communication (VLC). The aim is to efficiently provide wireless access to a large number of IoT nodes while minimizing resource usage and environmental impact. To enhance the sustainable design and operation of LIoT nodes, the research introduces batteryless LIoT, employing Supercapacitors as energy buffers and organic printed PV cells for energy harvesting.
The current version of the LIoT node prototype can sense Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), Temperature, Humidity, and Illumination. Collaborative work with a colleague, ESR09 – Jimmy Fernandez, resulted in the design and evaluation of batteryless nodes for reliable IAQ measurements based on BLE or VLC.
Currently, his research focuses on designing the first LIoT network by implementing Space and Time Division Multiple Access. In this network, low-power LIoT nodes transmit periodic updates to a gateway, which schedules the next update based on the energy available at each node.
Khojiakbar aims to advance sustainable wireless communication through LIoT. By addressing energy efficiency and sustainability, it strives to contribute to the advancement of eco-friendly wireless networks.
