Summary
Because a sensor node is operated at a low power, a good communication can hardly be done when an obstacle exists in inter-node’s communication point. In this study, a simulation environment was made using a shadowing model for the position of sensor node and the communication impact by crop in observing the crop’s growth and a greenhouse environment. In such developed simulation environment, the simulation was conducted through changing ad-hoc routing protocols for the sensor node. We could validate that there was a difference in the performance of sensor node according to the installed position through the simulation result. Also, we could confirm that there were different characteristics respectively depending on the routing protocol. We consider that such result will be useful to provide strategies for designing the effective routing protocol for an agricultural environment such as the greenhouse in the future.
