Abstract
In order to realize precision agriculture information monitoringover long periods of time and over large areas of space, we propose OPAIMS, an open-architecture precision agriculture information monitoring system. OPAIMS consists of a two-tiered sensor network and an information service platform. The sensor network contains a large amount of energy-limited low tier nodes (LNs) to capture and report information of their designated vicinity, and some powerful GPRS gateways in the high tier to organize the LNs to form clusters and to report the aggregated information to the Internet. The information service platform logs information from the sensor network and provide value-created services to the users. In this paper, we focus on the design methodologies of OPAIMS, including the system architecture, the standard interfaces and the multi-hop joint scheduling of LNs. Such designs make OPAIMS not only scalable and longevous, but also universal for various kinds of sensors and hardware. Users can easily establish a precision agriculture monitoring system based on the proposed OPAIMS.
