Application Research of Wireless Sensor Network in the Fine Production of Agriculture

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technology has the potential to have impact on many aspects of Precision Agriculture (PA). However, current WSN applications in Precision Agriculture all adopt the traditional client/sever model, data are sent from the source to the destination, because of hugeous data, high concurrency and strong signal interference in Precision Agriculture and the extremely limited sensor network resources, such client/sever model hampers WSN applications in Precision Agriculture.[ This paper presents a mobile-based agent of wireless sensor network model MAPA, MAPA avoids the large agricultural intermediate data transmission through migrating the computing to the resource source, and consequently it prolongs the sensor network lifetime and promotes the WSN applications in Precision Agriculture.
