Desenvolvimento de um framework para automatizar os processos de construção e gerenciamento de redes Mesh em ambientes IoT

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the main research and industry subjects nowadays. A big increase in the number of internet-connected devices is expected for the next years. In these devices, the use of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) is very important to improve signal routing through several nodes. However, the WMN has the disadvantage of presenting a considerable steep learning curve due to all the settings needed. To reduce the design effort, this work proposes a framework to automate the process of the WMN implementation in an IoT device by providing all the settings, some internet protocols, and propagation schemes using Espressif’s ESP32 processor. To validate the proposed framework, some simple applications were made to exemplify commom scenarios found in Internet of Things related solutions. These applications included both the device’s embedded software and the web plataform responsable to process and display the input data.
