Summary: | LoRa LPWAN (Long Range Low Power Wide
Area Network) technology is a radio modulation technology
which is widely used in various IoT applications for its unique
feature of long-range coverage, low power consumption and
low deployment and maintenance cost. Because of these
features LoRa is mostly chosen for performing communication
in agricultural monitoring. In this paper, palm-oil foliage effect
has been studied in terms of foliage loss. Specifically, five
different sized palm oil trees were studied utilizing 915MHz
and 868MHz frequencies to quantify LoRa link loss for three
different propagation path crossings the trunk, the canopy,
and the treetop. This research was undergone measuring the
RSSI data to find the average foliage propagation loss due to a
single palm-oil tree. It has been found that the trunk of the
palm-oil trees contributes in RSSI degradation while a
significant loss is noticed in canopy region of the trees. The
result demonstrates the need for further investigations of path
loss modelling in Palm-oil plantation environment because the
densely scattered leaves and branches of the palm-oil trees will
be accountable for significant propagation loss for
implementing LoRa-IoT agricultural applications in palm oil
plantation. |
