Optimizing Post Deployment Maintainance at Nodal Level for Macroscale Wireless Sensor Network
Srihari Koripalli, Drake Sheela, Nan Wang · 2024
The latest developments in low-power wireless communication systems like Wi-Fi and LoRa have enabled new capabilities in large-scale Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), specifically in agricultural monitoring and environmental monitoring applications. The long-range transmission and the adaptable ecosystem have enforced several challenges to maintain these WSNs. Temperature plays a crucial role in the reliability of the electronics, as temperature increases, the failure of the device increases exponentially. In this paper, a methodology to monitor the health of the node periodically along with the ability to identify an unhealthy node is proposed which eases the maintenance of the WSN. There is no existing methodology that addresses this issue at the nodal level. This proposed novel methodology solves the problem of monitoring and maintaining the health of the node of a WSN.
