Network design<br />

In addition to enabling the wireless capability of each luminaire, the<br />

implemented system also realized a self-configuring multi-hop wireless actuator<br />

network. Four wireless message packet types were implemented <strong>for</strong> this purpose:<br />

actuation message, status message, grouping message, <strong>and</strong> beacon message.<br />

Specifically, the actuation message <strong>and</strong> the grouping message are packet types that<br />

support lighting actuation activities, <strong>and</strong> status message <strong>and</strong> beacon message are packet<br />

types <strong>for</strong> actuation status reporting from each luminaire.<br />

Two additional packet types, sensor message <strong>and</strong> sensor management message,<br />

were defined <strong>for</strong> wireless photosensors in the second phase of the implementation when<br />

sensors were integrated into the research system. The structure of each message type<br />

was designed to have certain amount of flexibility <strong>for</strong> future expansion, <strong>and</strong> thus not<br />

every single field in each message type was utilized in this implementation.<br />

Actuation activity<br />

The actuation message type has the structure shown in Figure 9-5. The source<br />

ID field contains the unique identification number of the mote that sends out the<br />

message, which can be the mote that either generates the message or relays the message.<br />

The origin ID field carries the identification number of the mote that originates the<br />

message, which is always the ID of the base station mote since the base server is the<br />

only entity that issues actuation comm<strong>and</strong>s in this implementation. The destination ID<br />

field specifies the mote to which this message is addressed. If it is a multicasting or<br />

broadcasting message, the destination group ID field indicates the group to which this<br />
