Comparison of energy consumption in Wi-Fi and bluetooth communication in a Smart Building

Software-Defined Networking for Smart Buildings: Advances and Challenges

“…In the last years, number of research works have been undertaken to deploy prototypes of experimental SBs over WSNs. In particular, the following SB services have been considered: electricity metering and energy saving [4], [15], [16], [17], light and fan speed control [18], ventilation system control [19], [20], temperature sensing [21], occupancy measurement, localization, and motion tracking [5], [6], [22], [23], building surveillance [24], and inhabitant wellness [25]. It should be noticed that Zigbee is the dominant technology used in the experimentations previously mentioned.…”

“…Being composed of smart devices, smart buildings (SBs) are typical domain of application of IoT (Internet of Things) technologies [1], [2]. The killer application in SB field is energy saving, which should help the deployment of green cities and drastic reduction of pollution [3], [4], [5], [6], [7].…”

Enabling Smart Home with 5G Network Slicing

“…Today although many smart home systems still use X10 Zigbee [7][8] and Z-Wave [9][9] are two most used home automation communication protocols, which are short range and low power wireless technologies. Lately, both Bluetooth [10] and WiFi [11] have grown in popularity. More details about the usage of these technologies are given in the next section.…”

Space Occupancy through BLE Dynamic Broadcasting

“…Also, it does not require any infrastructure architecture whatsoever and lately most of the mobile vendors incorporate Bluetooth technology by default; no wonder that these were the main reasons why we chose BLE technology over some other technologies for the inside architecture. The reason for choosing BLE as a primary technology is because of its low-power consumption, comparing to Wi-Fi, for instance [31]. Furthermore, according to [32], users who have their Bluetooth active on the smartphones are on the rise.…”
