Ítem Architecture for WSN nodes integration in context aware systems using semantic messages(Springer, 2010) Larizgoitia, Iker; Muguira Urtubi, Leire; Vázquez Gómez, Juan IgnacioWireless sensor networks (WSN) are becoming extremely popular in the development of context aware systems. TraditionallyWSN have been focused on capturing data, which was later analyzed and interpreted in a server with more computational power. In this kind of scenario the problem of representing the sensor information needs to be addressed. Every node in the network might have different sensors attached; therefore their correspondent packet structures will be different. The server has to be aware of the meaning of every single structure and data in order to be able to interpret them.Multiple sensors, multiple nodes, multiple packet structures (and not following a standard format) is neither scalable nor interoperable. Context aware systems have solved this problem with the use of semantic technologies. They provide a common framework to achieve a standard definition of any domain. Nevertheless, these representations are computationally expensive, so a WSN cannot afford them. The work presented in this paper tries to bridge the gap between the sensor information and its semantic representation, by defining a simple architecture that enables the definition of this information natively in a semantic way, achieving the integration of the semantic information in the network packets. This will have several benefits, the most important being the possibility of promoting every WSN node to a real semantic information source. © 2010 ICST Institute for Computer Sciences, Social-Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.Ítem An environment adaptive ZigBee-based indoor positioning algorithm(IEEE, 2010) Larranaga, Janire; Muguira Urtubi, Leire; López Garde, Juan Manuel; Vázquez Gómez, Juan IgnacioLately, there has been significant progress in the field of wireless communications and networking. Furthermore, the number of applications that require context information as the user's location will increase in the coming years. However, this issue still has not been solved indoors due to the RF (Radio Frequency) signals' behaviour in this kind of scenarios. In this paper, we present a robust, easy to deploy and flexible indoor localization system based on ZigBee Wireless Sensor Networks. It is important to mention that our localization system is based on RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) level measurements since this information can be obtained directly from the messages exchanged between nodes, so no extra hardware is required. Our localization system consists of two phases: calibration and localization. Anytime a blind node needs to be located, our system performs calibration using a matrices system, so that the environment can be characterized, taking into account possible changes on it since the last request. Then, in the localization phase, the central server processes all the information and calculates the blind node's position with the new iterative algorithm we present. With this indoor positioning algorithm we can estimate the blind node's position with a good resolution (3 m average error), so we can say that this ZigBee localization algorithm provides very promising results.Ítem Interacting with the digital world through RFID-powered gadgets(IEEE, 2009) Muguira Urtubi, Leire; Ruiz de Garibay Pascual, Jonathan; Vázquez Gómez, Juan IgnacioThe Internet of Things is a field of the Future Internet that has a significant support from different institutions. Research has been done in this area for years and although it has progressed significantly, their goals remain the same: designing innovative Internet-connected experiences and augmenting existing objects' capabilities with Internet-related features. The scientific community has explored new ways and concepts, such as, service generation and consumption or user interaction. In this paper we present our work on creating RFID-based smart gadgets in order to take Internet experience to the next level, merging the on-line and the tangible worlds into a single continuous space.Ítem Internet browsing through RFID-powered gadgets(IOS Press, 2009) Muguira Urtubi, Leire; Ruiz de Garibay Pascual, Jonathan; Vázquez Gómez, Juan IgnacioThe vision of the Internet of Things is challenging researchers from different fields with the common goal of designing innovative Internet-connected experiences or augmenting existing objects' capabilities with Internet-related features. During these first stages, researchers must explore new ways and concepts, and share the results with the scientific community. In this paper, we present our work on creating RFID-based smart gadgets in order to take Internet experience to the next level, merging the on-line and the tangible worlds into a single continuous space.Ítem RFIDGlove: a wearable RFID reader(IEEE, 2009) Muguira Urtubi, Leire; Vázquez Gómez, Juan Ignacio; Arruti, Asier; Ruiz de Garibay Pascual, Jonathan; Mendia, Izaskun; Renteria, SilviaThere are different experiences in the use of RFID technology for warehouse inventories. However, there is future work to do on the design of advanced reading devices, applying wearable computation techniques and wireless communications. The aim of this work is to allow a natural interaction for the user who performs inventory tasks. In this paper we show the RFIDGlove system, which consists of a glove with an integrated RFID reader, an organic micro display and a communication system. The RFIDGlove system increases the efficiency of the activities in these areas, improving the user's experience and comfort while he/she uses the system. © 2009 IEEE.
