Unicast Routing for CWSB Pest Identification in Coffee Plantation using WSN: Energy Aware Approach

Abstract

This paper proposes a Unicast Routing in Coffee Plantation (URCP), an energy aware approach for forwarding the information of Coffee White Stem Borer existence in Coffee Plantation using Wireless Sensor Networks. Acoustic signals that are made with biting sound by the pests inside the stem are captured by the nodes, and the information is aggregated at Cluster-Head (CH) which is to be conveyed to sink node in an energy-efficient way. Eventdriven routing of the aggregated data is carried out by the CH which follows a Poisson distribution and maintains energy conservation by reducing the number of control packets for route establishment. Simulation analysis of URCP is compared with data routing for innetwork aggregation and energy-efficient hierarchical clustering routing protocol in terms of packet delivery ratio, control overhead and energy consumption. The URCP simulation results outperform set alongside the corresponding techniques.
