In order to accurately collect the environmental parameters (such as temperature, humidity, illumination, etc.), which influence growth of greenhouse crops, the paper proposed a design for greenhouse environment monitoring based on CAN bus and wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The communication network of the system consists of two parts: the backbone network being constructed by CAN bus and area network being constructed by WSNs. At the same time, the designed of hardware and software about the system is illustrated in detail. System architecture indicates that the system is an effective solution for greenhouse environment monitoring.

Reduce Energy Consumption

<p class="Abstract">In Wireless Sensor Networks, no physical backbone infrastructure used while all sensor nodes are energy constrained and impractical to recharge. The behavior of networks becomes unstable once the first node dies. The key challenge in such networks is how to reduce energy consumption to increase the network lifetime, especially with the different amount of energy in heterogeneity environments.</p><p class="Abstract">In this paper, the virtual backbone routing solution is suggested to reduce energy consumption in a wireless sensor network. An integrated approach combines both advantages of hierarchical cluster-based architecture and shortest spanning tree topology for constructing a virtual backbone with a mobile sink. The clustering solution is used to divide the network into clusters and reduces the number of nodes included in the communication. On the other hand, the shortest spanning tree technique is used to construct a backbone among all cluster heads and mobile sink every time the sink traverses to a new location. The proposed approach aims to construct an efficient data aggregation spanning tree used to send or receive data between the mobile sink and elected cluster heads in wireless sensor networks. It constructs an efficient virtual backbone to decrease the energy consumption and prolong the lifetime of the network.</p>Performance evaluation results demonstrate how the proposed approach prolongs the lifetime of wireless sensor networks compared to some conventional clustering protocols.

Simulation Results

To solve the beacon collision problem in IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee cluster-tree Wireless Sensor Networks, we proposed a Sequential Beacon Scheduling (SBS) mechanism. In this mechanism, the Cluster Headers (CHs) choose the beacon transmission time in a certain order. The CH which finishes the sequence chosen sends out control frame to inform other CHs in its interference range. The simulation results indicate that SBS general has better delivery ratio, latency, and throughput than three other beacon scheduling mechanisms.
