Abstract

The implementation of precision agriculture relies on the acquisition of large amounts of spatially distributed data from a remote area. Specifically closed-loop irrigation systems requires the installation of a large group of sensor nodes distributed over a crop area, in order to measure soil moisture and climatic variables. Wireless sensor network (WSN) based on Zigbee protocol represents a popular communication solution for precision agriculture applications. However due the short range of Zigbee based nodes, a complementary long range communication network is required to integrate the WSN into Internet for global access. Due its popularity in the personal mobile communication domain, GPRS (general packet radio service) represents an adequate technology to provide Internet access for a group of devices that comprises a sensor network. This paper analyzes different approaches on how to implement GPRS communication as a gateway between Zigbee WSN and Internet for precision agriculture, considering the specific needs required by closed-loop irrigation systems.

精准农业中GPRS通信的实现分析

精准农业的实施依赖于从偏远地区获取大量空间分布的数据。具体来说，闭环灌溉系统需要在作物区域安装大量的传感器节点，以测量土壤湿度和气候变量。基于Zigbee协议的无线传感器网络(WSN)代表了精准农业应用的一种流行的通信解决方案。然而，由于基于Zigbee的节点距离较短，因此需要一个互补的远程通信网络将WSN集成到Internet中以实现全球接入。由于其在个人移动通信领域的普及，GPRS(通用分组无线电服务)代表了一种足够的技术，为包括传感器网络的一组设备提供互联网接入。本文结合闭环灌溉系统的具体需求，分析了GPRS通信作为Zigbee无线传感器网络与互联网之间的网关实现精准农业的不同方法。
