Abstract

Recently, wireless sensor networks draw much attention as the sensor nodes equipped with various monitoring capabilities have additive advantages over the traditional communication technologies. In this paper, we propose a wireless sensing method for monitoring temperature and humidity of a smart greenhouse in a real time process. The propagation characteristics of communications in a greenhouse have been investigated first in terms of transmission and reception signal strength and signal reception rate. Those properties are further used to characterize the propagation property that can properly represent the communication environment of a greenhouse. The proposed propagation characterization not only well represents the pass loss in the greenhouse but also provides valuable insights and basic guidelines when designing a sensor network for a smart greenhouse.
