This study explores the effect of reliability adjustment (RA), a statistical technique developed to eliminate bias intr...
متن کاملReliability-Aware Power Adjustment in Air-Soil Wireless Sensor Networks
We study the power conservation and disseminating reliability problem in precision agriculture applications in this paper. Precision agriculture needs to accurately evaluate farming environment, and soil monitoring is an important part of this effort. Soil measurement requires soil sensors being buried deep enough so as to avoid plowing and other mechanical activities. Due to dielectric loss, r...
