Design and Implementation of Hydrological Monitoring System Based on Beacon-Enabled ZigBee Network

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to cope with the existing shortcomings lie in hydrological monitoring areas, a novel hydrological monitoring system based on beacon-enabled ZigBee network is proposed in this paper. The designed monitoring system is made up of three parts: field collecting portion, field monitoring portion and remote service portion. The proposed data collecting station utilizes ZigBee for delivering field sensors' data to monitoring center, which is designed to collect, store, process and analyze the data and provide higher services to the hydrological department. The main idea about constructing a simple and effective beacon-enabled ZigBee network is presented. The improvement on Guaranteed Time Slot (GTS) assignment mechanism and low power consideration are also be involved. The practical results indicate the system is effective and reliable.
