Cluster-Based Communication Protocol and Architecture for a Wastewater Purification System Intended for Irrigation

The remote location of agricultural fields leads to the difficulty deploying Precision Agriculture (PA) systems as there is no Internet access in those areas. Therefore, use long-range wireless technologies such LoRa can provide connectivity rural areas and allow monitoring PA remotely. In this paper, a heterogeneous architecture protocol that allows communication with both WiFi LoRa, including multiple hops are presented. design based on tree topology comprised electronic devices deployed different interest for canals irrigation water, fields, urban generate wastewater. A set practical tests configurations have been performed determine correct operation proposed protocol. results show consumed bandwidth 433 MHz 868 frequency bands remained within limits most restrictive configurations. deployment needs be addressed implementation proposal. Furthermore, packet transmission delays 500 ms at CH node high successful delivery rates.
