WiseDep – Robust low power wireless for safety-critical applications

WHAT IS WiseDep?

WiseDep is a set of optional embedded software techniques and protocols implemented into WiseNET for building low-power, robust, reliable, real-time and secure wireless communication systems for harsh environments. It runs on miniature COTS hardware platforms or CSEM in-house optimised components, in various radio-frequency bands. It provides improved robustness to interference and security by design. Its reliability is increased by benefiting from self-reconfiguration and relaying capabilities provided by the routing layer.

It takes advantage of features from the physical layer properties and of the Medium Access Control characteristics.

WiseDep embraces:

• Robustness to interference on RF channels
• Support for channel and antenna diversity
• Robustness to network node failure
• Secure end to end transfer of data (AES-CCM)
• Guaranteed transfer of data
• Forward Error Correction
• Adaptation of QoS to link quality
• Automatic reconfiguration
• Route diversity
• Timeliness of data exchange

APPLICATIONS

• Intra-spacecraft communication
• Aeronautics
• Shipping industry
• Automotive
• Process automation
