Application of Wireless Sensor Network for M2M in Precision Fruits

Abstract

The study introduced foreign and domestic situation of wireless sensor network technology in precision agriculture in detail. Applications of wireless sensor network are universal in foreign precision agriculture, however in its beginning stage in domestic agriculture. The function of domestic system based on wireless sensor network is usually positioning measurement and processing of agriculture elements, which does not meet final requirement of precision agriculture. The study designed a universal wireless sensor network for M2M combined intelligent communication technology and big agriculture machinery. The key technologies of wireless sensor network for M2M include development plan of ISA SP100.11a, spectrum technology based on DSSS, network technology based on net routing and low power radio frequency design, which can meet the real-time character, reliability, robustness and low energy consumption requirement of wireless communication in precision fruits. Moreover, the study presented several typical applications in precision fruits (including farming machine, water-saving irrigation machine and picking machine). With development of precision fruits in breadth and depth, integration application of wireless sensor network would have a widen prospect in the future.
