IRCOM movies

1. Developed ten IRCOMs

2. Eight nodes communication in demo mode

Here, 8 nodes are turned on one by one and turned off one by one. You can hear tick-tack rhythms that represent transmission timings of nodes. It is confirmed that 8 nodes communicate together by dividing time slots for transmissions.

3. Four nodes communication in high-speed mode

4 nodes are communicating without waits. On the PC screen, it is shown that connected nodes' IDs, received timings and transmission cycles.

4. Demonstration of 3 nodes in a line (Hidden node problem)

To make a situation that 3 nodes are connected in a line, we covered one of nodes with a box, one of sides was cut for communication. On the PC screen, the character "V" indicates the virtual node seen from the base station node. The movie proves that the proposed method is applicable to the hidden node problem.

5. Communications among 5 nodes connected in a line

5 nodes (No.1, 2, 3, 4, 6) were connected in a line. No.1 node is a base station node connected to the host PC by USB. No.6 node is farthest away from the No.1 node. It can be seen that ack data, shown in "**Ack[from ID][message No.](dummy): data" format, will be returned hopping through nodes by typing a target node ID and text data at the terminal window.

RFCOM Movies

 We developed three RFCOMs that just modified the IRCOM by replacing the LEDs with the RF module. The communication distance of the RF module reaches up to 1 km in a visible range.

1. Three RFCOMs communication

It can be seen and heard that three RFCOMs are communicating with about 2 sec time intervals that is one packet cycle of the RFCOM.

2. Three RFCOMs Long-Distance Communication

In case of long-distance communication with three RFCOMs, they also can communicate with each other by the proposed method. Here, the distant node, No. 13, is recognized as a virtual nodes from the base station node, No. 11.
