A Smart Insect Pest Detection Technique With Qualified Underground Wireless Sensor Nodes for Precision Agriculture

Wireless underground sensor networks are the new area of research. It is widely used in many engineering applications, from smart irrigation to security and precision agriculture. Some of the application areas of wireless underground sensor networks are underground with space, such as tunnel, cave, and so on, while some consist of no spaced underground solid areas as well. In this context, wireless underground sensor networks have recently become very important for precision agriculture purposes. In this paper, a smart insect pest detection technique with qualified underground wireless sensor nodes for precision agriculture has been investigated with a mathematical simulation model. In a simulated smart technique, insect pest detection is assumed to be carried out with a qualified acoustic sensor. In order to evaluate the performance of the underground network structure, the received signal strength and path loss parameters are examined. As the depth distance increases, the increase in path loss of communication has been revealed. The obtained performance evaluation result reveals the need for signal transmission with different transmitter power for depth-based communication in wireless underground sensor networks.
