| Elif Uysal | CNG STAR 2022 Student Tasks: Task 1: Design various APIs for LoRa and LoRaWAN (e.g. for integrating LoRa with blockchain networks) Task 2: The use of Blockchain structures in IoT systems: Stage 1. Research and prepare a report on various Blockchain parameters Block size Block generation timeout Ordering latency Validation latency Ledger-Commitment latency Stage 2. Explore the following Questions (the student can add other questions to this list.) How do these parameters affect the Age of Information (AoI) of IoT flows? How do these parameters affect Age of Incorrect Information (AoII)? Is adaptive block size good for AoI? Comparison of private blockchain distributions for information. Task 3: UI/Backend Design of the CNG LoRa-equipped Campus Shuttle Bus project Task 4: Develop an API with a UI for predefined metadata with using websocket (or HTTP) |
