Abstract
To connect agricultural wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to web services and applications, the agricultural WSNs/WoT gateway is empowered with local data management and network maintenance functions for downstream WSNs in addition to traditional upstream data collection. This work demonstrates a low-cost, highly scalable, rapidly deployable web of things (WoT) gateway with edge computing capabilities. First, an agricultural WSNs/WoT topology is architected, connecting a ZigBee WSNs to the Web for remote monitoring the local environmental and agronomical information, and simultaneously for managing the solar-powered WSNs for a prolonged lifespan according to the instant data scrawled from the cloud. Second, a WSNs/WoT gateway is designed with the hardware platform Raspberry Pi 3, which serves multiple needs for bidirectional information exchange and local WSNs management. Finally, experimentation demonstrates the proposed hardware platform and architecture can perform edge computing, and efficiently realize the up and down transmission and distribution of data stream.
为了将农业无线传感器网络(WSN)连接到web服务和应用程序,除了传统的上游数据收集外,农业WSN/WoT网关还具有下游WSN的本地数据管理和网络维护功能。这项工作展示了一种具有边缘计算能力的低成本、高度可扩展、快速部署的物联网(WoT)网关。首先,构建了一个农业无线传感器网络/WoT拓扑结构,将ZigBee无线传感器网络连接到网络上,用于远程监控当地的环境和农业信息,同时根据从云端绘制的即时数据管理太阳能无线传感器网络,以延长其使用寿命。其次,利用硬件平台Raspberry Pi 3设计了一个WSN/WoT网关,该网关满足双向信息交换和本地WSN管理的多种需求。最后,实验表明,所提出的硬件平台和体系结构可以执行边缘计算,并有效地实现数据流的上下传输和分发。
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Interdisciplinary Telecommunications and Networking (IJITN) examines timely and important telecommunications and networking issues, problems, and solutions from a multidimensional, interdisciplinary perspective for researchers and practitioners. IJITN emphasizes the cross-disciplinary viewpoints of electrical engineering, computer science, information technology, operations research, business administration, economics, sociology, and law. The journal publishes theoretical and empirical research findings, case studies, and surveys, as well as the opinions of leaders and experts in the field. The journal''s coverage of telecommunications and networking is broad, ranging from cutting edge research to practical implementations. Published articles must be from an interdisciplinary, rather than a narrow, discipline-specific viewpoint. The context may be industry-wide, organizational, individual user, or societal. Topics Covered: -Emerging telecommunications and networking technologies -Global telecommunications industry business modeling and analysis -Network management and security -New telecommunications applications, products, and services -Social and societal aspects of telecommunications and networking -Standards and standardization issues for telecommunications and networking -Strategic telecommunications management -Telecommunications and networking cultural issues and education -Telecommunications and networking hardware and software design -Telecommunications investments and new ventures -Telecommunications network modeling and design -Telecommunications regulation and policy issues -Telecommunications systems economics
