Pulses in the sand: Impulse response analysis of wireless underground channel

Abstract: Abstract-Wireless underground sensor networks (WUSNs) are becoming ubiquitous in many areas and designing robust systems requires extensive understanding of the underground (UG) channel characteristics. In this paper, UG channel impulse response is modeled and validated via extensive experiments in indoor and field testbed settings. Three distinct types of soils are selected with sand and clay contents ranging from 13% to 86% and 3% to 32%, respectively. Impacts of changes in soil texture and soil moisture are… Show more

“…However, MI beamforming cannot be readily applied to IOUT because the spatial multipath modularity does not exist in MI, and sender-receiver coils have to be parallel to each other in MIcommunications, which is a restriction which can be avoided in UG communications. In UG communications, lateral component [16] has the potential, via beam-forming techniques, to reach farther UG distances, which otherwise are limited (8 m to 12 m) because of higher attenuation in soil [25]. To the best of our knowledge, adaptive UG beamforming has not been studied before in literature, and this is the first work to develop soil moisture adaptive UG beamforming for the wireless UG channel.…”
