Wireless Communication Projects for Engineering Students

Wireless communication is defined as sending information from one point to another point or multiple points without using wires. Wireless communication allows long-range communication, whereas in other communications it is impossible to implement using wires. This communication is used in telecommunication industries and it uses some type of energy to transfer information without using wires over short & long distances. These technologies use radio waves using the radio for short and long-distance radio communications. This communication is mainly used in mobile, fixed, and portable devices that include PDAs, radio, cell phones, and the applications of wireless communication projects include garage door openers, GPS, wireless computer mice keyboards, satellite vision, headsets, broadcast television, etc.

Wireless Communication Projects

Wireless communication-based projects mainly involve different types of wireless technologies such as GPS, Bluetooth, FID, Zigbee, and GSM. For a better understanding of these wireless communication technologies, we have discussed it with projects.

So, let us once look at some of the wireless communication-based project ideas collected especially for engineering students. We hope these project ideas are more helpful to many final year students to complete their B. Tech successfully.

RFID based Ambulance Flashing Light with Beeper

This project is designed to provide a flashing light, which is commonly used in ambulances and emergency vehicles. These flashing lights are located at the top roof of the vehicle to clear the vehicles on the way and also to give an alert to the people to wait and permit it to pass smoothly.

The proposed system uses an 8051 family microcontroller to give flashing light at particular time intervals. A 12v lamp is driven by a power MOSFET in the mode of pulse width modulation. The duty cycle of the pulse width modulation has to be changed as per the type of application. In the future, this project can be developed by using the 230V lamp for better visibility.

Bluetooth based Garage Door Opening

The main concept of this project is to design a Bluetooth-based garage door opening system with a unique password by any android application. The owner can connect the Bluetooth device with the android application to the system. The proposed system uses an ATMEGA microcontroller to control the garage door open and close by entering the unique password.

When the entered password is right, then the door will be open otherwise it will generate a buzzer sound. Further, this project can be enhanced by using an EEPROM so that the password can be changed by the authorized person.

DTMF based Load Control System

This load control system using dual-tone multi-frequency is used to switch any electrical loads. In various industries, agriculture fields, and in the houses different loads are located in large areas so, controlling loads is a difficult task. To overcome this problem, the proposed system is designed to control the loads remotely by using DTMF technology

A cell phone is connected to a DTMF decoder with this project from its audio o/p outlet for receiving tone instructions. The receiving cell phone codes are changed into digital instructions by using a DTMF Decoder which will recognize the frequency of the key and alter that frequency to its corresponding digital code which is then fed to a microcontroller. According to the instructions sent from the mobile user, the 8051 microcontrollers will send indications through a buffer to activate the particular loads by switching the relays ON/OFF. These relays are triggered by a relay driver IC connected to the microcontroller.

In the future, this project can be developed by using a GSM modem, where the different electrical loads can be controlled by sending an SMS. This will remove the necessity of replying to the call for the system to work.

Smart Card Technology-based Security System

The main goal of this project is to design a security system using smart card technology to control a device or to access an area. This smart card technology is used in many organizations to access a secure area by using a valid smart card.

At present, human interference was compulsory to observe all these parameters, but using this project no human interference is required. Because this project uses a valid smart card to operate devices.

The smart card reader is interfaced with an 8051 family microcontroller. When the data is read from the smart card data on the microcontroller matches, then the message will display on the LCD that the smart card is authorized. A relay is used instantaneously to turn ON a lamp

If an unauthorized card is interleaved in the smart card reader, it displays the message on the LCD display that the card is not authorized and the lamp remains OFF representing that the person is not authorized to entrée the specific area or device. In the future, this project can be developed by adding a GSM modem such that any effort of illegal access is made, then an SMS is sent to the concerned department.

Zigbee based Automatic Meter Reading System

The main concept of this project is to design an automatic energy meter reading system using Zigbee. This meter sends unit-based pulses which are connected to an Optocoupler that calculates the pulses every time, then the led blinks. As per the ingesting, it gives the necessary interrupt signal to a microcontroller.

The 8051 microcontroller receives the reading from the meter through an Opto-isolator and the reading will be displayed on the LCD which is interfaced with the microcontroller. The energy meter’s reading is sent wirelessly to the user of the personal computer by a serial data transfer via a 2.4 GHz XBee module attached to the microcontroller.

This project detects the motion of the person from any side & immediately generates an alarm and it displays where the motion of the intruder is detected. The signal transmission can be done wirelessly to the central controller using different sensors.

Accident Identification System

Day by day, the usage of two-wheeler and four-wheeler vehicles is increasing radically. So accident rates are also increased due to over speed, over stress, gadgets usage while driving, mind diverts, drunk & drive. This project implements a detection system for accidents that may occur due to the negligence of the vehicle driver.

To overcome this problem, an alerting system for accidents is implemented to give an alert to the driver of the vehicle. Once the vehicle accident takes place then this proposed system will send the information regarding the accident to the registered phone number. Wireless Camera Position System

This project designs a system for positioning the wireless camera to monitor the audio or video signals through a PC. The development of this system can be done using the RFID system, microcontroller like AT89S52, and circuits for motor driving & PC interfacing.

The implementation of the controlling circuit can be done using hardware & software modules. These modules are used for the camera which moves in a 360-degree angle. So that it provides the highest security.

In modern technology, some devices use high temperatures to offer a temperature control device. But, in some situations, control devices will not work properly so at that time alarm device for over temperature is installed.

Wireless Power Transmission Project

The transmission of power can be done wirelessly rather than using copper cables or current-carrying wires. In this project, two coils are used like primary and secondary. The primary coil works like a transmitter whereas the secondary coil works like the receiver.

The load can be operated through the power received from the transmitter. This project is mainly used to charge the batteries of the pacemaker. Please refer to this link to know more about this project: Wireless Power Transmission Circuit and Its Working.

For each student, a specifically authorized tag is allotted. This tag is mainly used for swiping for storing the attendance within the RFID reader. This tag includes an IC to store as well as process the student’s data.

Wireless Traffic Light Controller

This project is used to implement a traffic light control system so that traffic at the junction can be effectively controlled through wireless remote control. This system includes two modes like manual mode and automatic mode. In manual mode, traffic lights can be controlled by a policeman by just pressing the button linked to the route of the lane to make a green light signal.

In another mode, the board of traffic light controller will modify the sequence of light based on the fixed patterns & time delay, so the traffic policeman can modify the pattern at any time through the remote. So in this project, traffic policeman can control the traffic junction and changes the traffic flow conditions dynamically.
