Selection of Wireless Communication Technologies for Embedded Devices using Multi-criteria Approach and Expert Opinion

Abstract

Recent research has shown the significance of communication technologies in the development of embedded systems and devices. Decision makers may be impacted by several factors while selecting the best solution since different communication technologies in embedded systems have varying advantages and disadvantages. As a result, selecting the optimal wireless communication technology is a multifaceted task. In order to rank the prevalent wireless communication technologies relevant to the development of embedded systems, this research suggests a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approach for analyzing experts' perspectives on the most desirable wireless communication technologies for embedded devices. To take into consideration the subjective nature of expert opinions, a Fuzzy-TOPSIS MCDM approach is proposed for the ranking of wireless communication technologies that may be applied in the creation of embedded systems. According to the total of expert responses, Wi-Fi is the most preferred wireless communication option for embedded applications, with a closeness coefficient (????????????) of 0.52, while Long-Term Evolution (LTE) is the least preferred alternative, with a (????????????) of 0.32.
