Last night I was delighted to share my research as an invited lecturer at the Design of Integrated Systems for Digital Processing (DSIPD) class hosted by Professor Jordi Carrabina, Director Centre de Prototips i Solucions Hardware-Software. CEPHIS. Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (UAB). I delivered two topics about integrated systems applications in this master program class, which are about System-on-Chip (SoC) design for industrial wireless applications and Internet-of-Things (IoT) Systems for Smart Health Monitoring.
In the first session, I shared our proposed Hardware-Software (HW-SW) Co-Design Methodology for a wireless communication system. The rapid evolution of wireless communication standards and the emergence of a huge number of new applications that utilized wireless communication systems are the main challenge for SoC design engineers. In this session, I presented how our proposed method can be used to design WIFI IEEE 802.11n SOC https://doi.org/10.1109/ISCIT.2017.8261177. Then, in another work, I presented how our proposed method can be easily used to modify our WiFi SoC design for industrial wireless applications https://doi.org/10.1109/ISESD.2016.7886692.
Industrial wireless application has a very different requirement than WIFI system. While WIFI is widely used for high-throughput applications such as video streaming and large-size file transfer. The Industrial wireless application requirement is more on the timing constraint and reliability. In this work, we presented how we reutilized our Physical (PHY) layer design for WIFI chip and modify the MAC layer design of WIFI chip to be able to fulfill the latency and clock requirement of industrial wireless applications. We also demonstrated that our design can perform the required function of the Industrial wireless LAN protocol.
In the second session, I introduced my work at IoT Systems for Smart Health Monitoring. I started by explaining some data from Deloitte about the lack of hospital beds. physician and medical facility in Indonesia compared to the number of populations. The rapid development of portable sensor technology, microprocessor, and cloud computing offers the possibility that can help this problem. Then I introduced my work on an intelligent IoT system for sleep monitoring https://doi.org/10.1109/ACCESS.2022.3167637. In this work, we proposed a high-performance IoT cloud platform and AI algorithm to enable patients to acquire information about their sleep quality every day from their mobile phone. This information can also be used by sleep clinic doctors to diagnose the sleep problem of the patients. Please check my previous post if you are interested in it.
I was glad that we can have a pleasant discussion with some Professors and master’s students at UAB Barcelona about these topics. Prof. Carrabina said that it is well-aligned with the lesson because they just finished studying the basics of integrated systems for digital processing applications in the class. Therefore, my lecture can show some examples of the application of Integrated system design for the master’s students.
Without I realized it had already gone for 2 hours. We finished the session at midnight in Japan 12 a.m. JST (17 CEST). It’s time to wear my wearable sleep sensor and start to record my sleep to get some data for my next research. LOL (^,^).
