A Local Area Network-Based Insect Intelligent Building Platform

Abstract

The Insect Intelligent Building (I2B) platform is one kind of new architecture of building control and management systems based on a computing process node (CPN) network. To construct an I2B platform more conveniently, a new kind of I2B Platform based on a local area network is presented in this paper. In the local area network-based I2B Platform, the database describing the adjacency of building space units is deployed in building process unit (BPU) and central information node. And with BPU and central information node, the local area network-based I2B Platform can perceive the local topology of each building space unit and each build facility unit even if the CPN network is not deployed. Furthermore, the evaluation method for communication performance of the local area network-based I2B is also presented in this paper. Experiment results show that the network performance of the local area network-based I2B platform can meet the requirements of the I2B platform on communication time.
