Estudio y Análisis del protocolo IEEE 802.11ah para el desarrollo del Internet de las cosas (IoT) en el sector industrial.

Abstract

The advance of telecommunications has helped the innovation of technologies. Currently, the changes that have been made on the Internet make it necessary to design communications systems that operate in different wireless spectra as an alternative to wireless access systems, considering some specifications such as; have a wireless technology of low power consumption, reliable and available. Wireless networks have evolved from slow connections to a technology providing incredibly versatile connectivity and plays an integral role in the lives of hundreds of millions of people, as well as application usage. The IEEE has developed modifications to the original IEEE 802.11 standard to achieve higher performance and utilities exposed in WLAN networks introduced the new 802.11ah standard. In this project, the information regarding 802.11ah (Wi-Fi HaLow) is collected, processed and systematized, detailing characteristics of the PHY layer and MAC layer, adding mechanisms such as BSS Color and Target Wake Time that will allow Wi-Fi to help to the Internet of things IoT devices in their performance. Finally, a diagram is made for an 802.11ah network implementation in a warehouse in the industrial sector in the city of Guayaquil, presenting the conclusions and recommendations obtained in the development of this project.
