\chapter{Solution}
The solution consists of two separate applications: a website used for transmitting data and a smartphone application used for receiving data. Transmission between the two application happens using a simple protocol on top of signals made using magnetic induction. I call the system MagSend.
The solution consists of two separate applications: a website used for transmitting data, and a smartphone application used for receiving data. Transmission between the two application happens by a simple protocol on top of signals that use magnetic induction. I call the system MagSend.
\section{Protocol}
\label{section:protocol}
The following section describes how the MagSend protocol works. I explain the entire protocol first by explaining how the data gets encoded on the sender site, then the transmission and finally how the data is received.

Data over MagSend gets sent in a packet. For the structure of the packet I tried to follow other packet formats that already exist. Most of the structure is similiar to the structure of a LoRa packet. \cite{LoRaPacketFormat} I choose LoRa as example as I am familiar to it was a part of my studies and as LoRa is also a protocol designed with a low data-rate in mind. The packet contains three parts.
\subsubsection*{Header}
The first part of the packet is the header. The header is \SI{4}{\bit} long and contains the length of the payload in bytes. The length is mainly used, to be able to detect the end of the payload.

\subsubsection*{Payload}
Next is the actual payload. As the length of the payload is specified in the header, the payload is limited to a size of $2^4$ bytes. While the contents of the payload can be any bit stream, the sender and receiver should assume that the bit stream is interpreted as ASCII text.

To indicate the start of a message in the signal, a preamble is used. The preamble used in this protocol is 3 high signals, followed by 3 low signals, followed by 3 high signals. The duration of one signal in the preamble is 1 second. That means the entire preamble takes 9 seconds.
After the preamble that contents of the manchester encoded packet is sent.
