Managing Energy Consumption of Wireless Sensors Networks in Multiple Greenhouses

An extensive area implementation of fully observed greenhouses motivates on research, especially in remote greenhouses. However, implementation of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is still needed for investigation. Cognitive radio sensor networks (CRSNs) took advantage of using the cognitive radio (CR) concept to which allowed wireless sensor networks to dynamically access into white space channels which is unused channels. In this paper, we adopted the Generalized Implicit-OR as CRSN sensing protocol to reduce the energy consumption and increase the network lifetime in multiple numbers of greenhouses. Our results showed that enhanced energy consumption and improved network lifetime compared to ordinary WSN.
