Wireless communication design of internet of things based on FPGA and WiFi Module

Abstract

Abstract The implementation of the internet of things (IoT) has been many researched. Some applications have their own designs and special uses. Low-cost designs and multi-usage are always targeted on the implementation either using a microcontroller or field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The reconfigurable device of FPGA in some cases has advantages in its uses. This paper has designed the communication of the radio frequency (RF) for the IoT using wireless communication based on the FPGA and wireless fidelity (WiFi) of the ESP8266 WiFi module. The research methodology used in this paper was a simulation using Xilinx ISE software for the device of the Xilinx Spartan-3E FPGA that has been configured using Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL). The result of the ESP8266 driver based on the FPGAs is sent to the JSON based website.
