Can USRP be used as a Gateway for NI-WSN Nodes

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi everyone,

I am using NI-WSN kIT comprises of gateway(9792) and NI-WSN NODES(3202,3212,3226 all programmable) and i am also trying experiments with NI-USRP 2921 so i thought to replace NI-9792 REAL TIME ETHERNET GATEWAY with NI-USRP 2921 as it is also operating on same 2.4GHz.

Can USRP 2921 act as a gateway or Not? is this is possible please suggest.

 

Warm Regards,

Abhinav Sharma

The short answer is No.

 

The longer answer is that a WSN node uses a fixed function radio with a full protocal stack.  The USRP is a general purpose radio covering a common set of frequencies however a fully functional turnkey stack does not exist.  Could it be designed?  Perhaps over the course of many focused man-years of development.

 

The USRP mostly used as a research device.  Most research implements a small aspect of a protocol, ususally focused on the physical or MAC layer, and then customizes it and evaluates the results.

 

The right solution for WSN is a WSN gateway.
