An Efficient, Reliable FM based Campus Notification Dissemination System

摘要

An efficient notifying system is backbone for efficient communication of an organization or an institution. Many traditional systemsare quite dominant and existing despite of having many loopholes present in them. Although many better systems have been proposed in thepast that are working efficiently with the help of World Wide Web technology. Still with the advancement in technology there is always a needto revise many existing systems and propose an efficient solution for various drawbacks present in them. The work carried in this paperproposes a system that ensures timely reception of notifications by the users without being connected to the World Wide Web all the time.Current notification and announcement reception depends on web portals, groups on social media or short message system. The use of webportals and other mentioned techniques has many limitations such as high data usage and high-power consumption thereby making the currentsystem inefficient and uneconomical. This paves a way to look for the alternate options. Hence a system is proposed that will broadcastnotifications uploaded on the campus website automatically in some specified time slots via FM. The users have to tune into the specified radiofrequency on their mobile phones to use this service. The proposed system is further equipped with Multicast system communication mode thatis realized by integrating both piloting and auto broadcast on the same transmission channel. The system also facilitates text documentnarration into audio through FM band using various web scrapping protocols. The aim is to ensure that the probability of missing thenotifications by the users is significantly reduced and also to provide the cheaper alternative to the users for receiving notifications as FMradios are cheaply available on all the mobile phones.
