Abstract

Recently, Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has been widely applied in many fields. In this paper, we design and implement a WSN-based Electronic Intelligent Tag System (EITS) to provide intelligent management of the modern supermarkets. As a main transceiver, nRF24L01+ wireless module is used in this system, which will make it possible to achieve low-power and low-cost for EITS. This system fully embodies the advantages and characteristics of WSN. This paper will introduce the system architecture, hardware structure and software design in details; and put forward a specific solution. Finally, we achieve the intelligent management of the mall based on wireless sensor network technology.
