Title. RSSI Performance analysis in WSN using Arduino platform and XBee wireless modules
Today, through the monitoring of agronomic variables, the wireless sensor networks are playing an increasingly important role in precision agriculture. Among the emerging technologies used to develop prototypes related to wireless sensor network, we find the Arduino platform and XBee radio modules from the DIGI Company. In this article, based on field tests, we conducted a comparative analysis of received strength signal intensity levels, calculation of path loss with “log-normal shadowing” and free-space path loss models. In addition, we measure packet loss for different transmission, distances and environments with respect to an “Arduino Mega” board, and radio modules XBee PRO S1 and XBee Pro S2. The tests for the packet loss and received strength signal intensity level show the best performance for the XBee Pro S2 in the indoor, outdoor, and rural scenarios.

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a wireless network technology that is capable of scanning and can be used to monitor environmental conditions, both indoors and outdoors. One of the devices used in data communication at WSN is XBee. XBee is a device in WSN that uses radio frequency as a data transmission path from one device to another. In sending data, Xbee can be affected by the distance and signal strength between devices. In this research, Xbee communication distance analysis is done outdoors and indoors so as to get data in the form of maximum distance vulnerable from Xbee. The results of this study indicate that the Xbee Pro Series 2B that is measured outside the room is capable of sending data up to a distance of 110 meters, while the Xbee Pro Series 2B device that is measured indoors is capable of sending data up to a distance of 20 meters.

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is to monitor the environment via devices called sensor nodes or motes for parameters such as temperature, light, humidity, moisture and improve agricultural techniques like water management. It helps to improve crop productivity, reduce production cost and make use of real time values for decision not prediction. The paper is to review precision agriculture and standards for wireless communications (IEEE for LAN, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GSM/GPRS) and using ZigBee in the Agri-Food sector.
A ZigBee Based Wireless Sensor Network for an Agricultural Environment
This paper reports the design and development of a smart wireless sensor network (WSN) for an agricultural environment. Monitoring agricultural environments for various factors such as light, temperature and humidity along with other factors can be of significance. The sensor data is transmitted to network coordinator which is heart of the wireless personal area network. In the modern scenario wireless networks contains sensors as well as actuators. ZigBee is newly developed technology that works on IEEE standard 802.15.4, which can be used in the wireless sensor network (WSN). The low data rates, low power consumption, low cost are main features of ZigBee. WSN is composed of ZigBee coordinator (network coordinator), ZigBee router and ZigBee end device. The sensor nodes information in the network will be sent to the coordinator, the coordinator collects sensor data, stores the data in memory, process the data, and route the data to appropriate node.
Experimental evaluation of the performance of a wireless sensor network in agricultural environments
Engenharia Agrícola, 2012
The aim of this study was to perform an experimental study to evaluate the proper operation distance between the nodes of a wireless sensor network available on the market for different agricultural crops (maize, physic nut, eucalyptus). The experimental data of the network performance offers to farmers and researchers information that might be useful to the sizing and project of the wireless sensor networks in similar situations to those studied. The evaluation showed that the separation of the nodes depends on the type of culture and it is a critical factor to ensure the feasibility of using WSN. In the configuration used, sending packets every 2 seconds, the battery life was about four days. Therefore, the autonomy may be increased with a longer interval of time between sending packets.
