| Abstract |
The implementation of Smart City projects has experimented a surge in the recent years with examples such as Smart Santander or Barcelona Smart City. Among the different domains that comprise the Smart City, water management has a great importance, more so in areas with water scarcity. Furthermore, water from different sources such as treated sewage water or collected rainwater can be utilized to address water needs where the use of potable water is not necessary. Therefore, the implementation of smart systems for the irrigation of urban gardens and other urban vegetated areas is of great importance to manage both water needs and the available resources. In this paper, a communication protocol for smart irrigation systems designed within the context of the Smart City is presented. The protocol enables the communication among devices with both LoRa and WiFi wireless technologies. Tests were performed with low-cost devices in an urban area. The results demonstrate the good performance of the proposal, obtaining the minimum packet loss by adding a 500 ms delay at the CH node when transmitting messages from WiFi to LoRa and vice versa. |
