Towards a cross platform solution to share small scale data across smart–devices using audio waves: a prototype development in android environment

Abstract

In the present era of research on Internet of Things (IoT) and Machinetype- Communications (MTC), there is a growing need of cross platform solutions for short range communication techniques between machines. The short range communication standards of present day (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth etc) were mainly developed for large data streams, but machine type communications data are usually smaller in size, less complex in nature, but more frequent and more congestive due to the deemed large volume of participatory devices at a particular area. In this project we explored the potential of audio waves as a interoperable cross-platform solution for small scale data and short range Machine-type-Communications (MTC).
