“…For SWM applications, wireless communication technologies are mainly used for data communication. (Boustani et al, 2011;Isoaho and Peltoniemi, 2004;Johansson, 2006;Mcleod et al, 2013;Purohit and Bothale, 2011), GPRS (Ali et al, 2012;Faccio et al, 2011;Friedlos, 2005;O'connor, 2007;Vicentini et al, 2009;Wilson and Vincent, 2008) and VHFR (Lee and Thomas, 2004) were adopted by several solid waste collection and monitoring systems. The short-range communications technologies such as Wi-Fi (Chowdhury and Chowdhury, 2007;Hong et al, 2014), ZigBee (Catania and Ventura, 2014;Longhi et al, 2012) and Bluetooth (Friedlos, 2005;O'connor, 2007) were used among data acquisition nodes and sink nodes.…”
