Abstract
Wireless sensor networks have been focused to enhance agricultural production because environmental information is useful to estimate growing conditions of plants, diseases of plants etc. A density of sensors is also an important factor to obtain an accurate estimation. Therefore, a lot of sensors are required in a practical field sensing. In conventional systems, the number of sensors is limited due to a cost of an installation and management. Additionally, their devices typically use a single-hop communication. Hence, it is difficult to cover a larger area due to the limit of a communication distance. This paper proposes a wireless sensor network for agricultural usages. The proposed protocols for the wireless sensor network can work with a limited memory resource and CPU performance. Therefore, a developed system can employ Arduino micro-computer boards that have a limited hardware resource. Since a price of Arduino boards is usually inexpensive, it is easy to deploy a lot of sensors in a field to improve an accuracy of estimation. Additionally, our network supports multi-hop communication to extend a sensing area. It also supports a sleep operation at all nodes to mitigate consumed power even if typical multi-hop routing protocols do not support a sleep operation at relay nodes. Experimental results show that the developed sensor network can construct a multi-hop network by the proposed protocols, and work well on a resource constrained hardware.
