A Novel Multi-Hop Wireless Network Proposal to Control Elevator Floor Fixtures in Low-Rise and Medium-Rise Buildings

Wired communication systems used to control elevator floor fixtures have problems due to huge amount of cables used in implementation, long installation time, long troubleshooting time and chronic faults. This paper proposes a double-jump multi-hop wireless network for low-rise and medium-rise buildings to control elevator floor fixtures using wireless short packet protocol (WSP). Telegram success rate, telegram intensity, hop time and signal power measurements have been performed on the proposed network. Experimental results emphasize that telegram intensity of about 75 telegram/s guarantees 100 % telegram success rate. Average hop times of 16.1 ms and 17.5 ms for the first and second hops have been measured respectively and found to be enough for low-rise and medium-rise buildings. Signal power measurements show that proposed network may be capable of performing even triple jumps or more instead of double jumps contributing to the speed, telegram intensity and the performance of the network
