On the design of beacon based wireless sensor network for agricultural emergency monitoring systems

In this paper, we proposed new sensor network architecture with autonomous robots based on beacon mode for real time agriculture monitoring system. The proposed scheme also offers a reliable association with parent nodes and dynamically assigns network addresses. For the large scale multi-sensor processing, the proposed system accomplished the intelligent database, which generates alert messages to the handheld terminal by means of the fire and air-based sensor data. Thus farmers can easily check out the current conditions of crops and farms at anytime and anywhere. Moreover, we also developed a robot platform with network based mobility function for mobile surveillance.
