Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have been proposed to develop a monitoring system for forest in which XBee is one of prospective device for this implementation due to its simple set-up, low cost, low power consumption, and relative wide transmission coverage. Regarding the coverage area of WSN in forest is generally wide and the radio transmission is highly attenuated by foliage, the coverage range of device must be defined to optimize the number of nodes in the WSN systems. This paper delivers the empirical study of XBee transmission range in the forest based on Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). The measurements have conducted in two different type of forest, i.e. heterogeneous tropical forest and homogeneous pine forest. The measurement results found highly degrades of transmission range compared to non-forest environment with the maximum distance of transmission are 250 m and 330 m for both aforementioned types of forest consecutively.

基于RSSI的森林环境下无线传感器网络节点XBee-Pro传输距离评估

无线传感器网络(WSN)已被提出用于开发森林监测系统，其中XBee由于其设置简单，成本低，功耗低，传输覆盖范围相对较广，是实现该系统的潜在设备之一。由于森林中无线传感器网络的覆盖范围普遍较广，无线电传输受到树叶的高度衰减，因此必须定义设备的覆盖范围，以优化无线传感器网络系统中的节点数量。本文基于接收信号强度指标(Received Signal Strength Indicator, RSSI)对XBee在森林中的传输范围进行了实证研究。测量是在两种不同类型的森林中进行的，即异质热带森林和均质松林。测量结果发现，与非森林环境相比，上述两种森林的传播距离都有很大的下降，最大传播距离分别为250 m和330 m。
