Magnetic Induction Based Communications On The Agriculture Field Using Wireless Underground Sensor Networks(wusn)

Description

Abstract

Wireless Underground Sensor Networks (WUSNs) constitute one of the promising application areas of the recently developed wireless sensor networking techniques. WUSN is a specialized kind of WSN that mainly focuses on the use of sensors at the subsurface region of the soil. For a long time, this region has been used to bury sensors, usually targeting irrigation and environment monitoring applications, although without wireless communication capability; WUSNs promise to fill this gap and to provide the infrastructure for novel applications. The underground wireless channel was only available recently. Communication through the underground medium has been a challenging research area. The applications require the deployment of sensors below the ground surface. WUSNs, which have components, i.e. the sensors, that are buried underground and that communicate through soil. The majority of the applications for WUSNs – intelligent agriculture, environmental monitoring, of the soil.
