Specification

Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless network, and more particularly, the present invention relates to the method and system for multi-tier data relaying in agriculture and remote sensing IoT applications that develop an ultra-large scale non-hierarchical wireless Ad-Hoc network called WON (Worldwide One Network) or WON (Worldwide Open Network) OR WOON (Worldwide One Open Network) for agriculture applications.
BACKGROUND ART
[0002] The following discussion of the background of the invention is intended to facilitate an understanding of the present invention. However, it should be appreciated that the discussion is not an acknowledgment or admission that any of the material referred to was published, known, or part of the common general knowledge in any jurisdiction as of the application’s priority date. The details provided herein the background if belongs to any publication is taken only as a reference for describing the problems, in general terminologies or principles or both of science and technology in the associated prior art.
[0003] Efficient implications of IOT agriculture applications are still a mirage in rural areas of India. The major roadblock is the unavailability of practical internet connectivity. Notwithstanding the implications of the futuristic 6 Genesis Program for mobiles and internet applications this work proposes a multi-tire and multi-hop Ad-Hoc data relaying technique primarily for agricultural IoT uses and an extended application for remote sensing. The proposed architecture and methodology even though hypothetical simulation results indicate encouraging and reaching benefits for Internet-scarce geographies.
[0004] The available system is not economical, accurate, and time efficient. Further, the available systems are not user-friendly as these systems take time to respond. Some of the systems are not effectively used for remote locations. Also, the available systems are provided with poor network facilities, which may mislead the user.
[0005] The applicant has conducted a worldwide prior art patent search before filing the present patent application. Following are some of the attempts made to develop a method and system for agriculture and remote sensing IoT applications.
[0006] CN106779414A discloses remote monitoring and intelligent decision system for facility agriculture. The system comprises a plurality of monitoring modules, a plurality of execution modules, a monitoring host and an intelligent analysis and decision system, wherein the plurality of monitoring modules are used for monitoring environment detection parameters on monitoring nodes where the monitoring modules are located, and transmitting the environment detection parameters to the monitoring host through a zigbee communication manner.
[0007] CN101241362A discloses an ecological remote real-time monitoring system for agriculture and forestry. A biological information acquisition system (1) thereof is connected to an information converter (2) by a data line, the information converter (2) is connected to the network system (3) by ATSL+router (5), and is connected to an indoor supervisory control system (4) by ATSL circuitry. Since the invented system uses an advanced biological information acquisition system, network system, information converter, and indoor supervisory control system.
[0008] Although there are a number of solutions in the form of systems for agriculture and remote sensing IoT applications, none of them are specially designed with an accurate data transferring facility. Although some of the prior existing solutions attempt to create a reliable and economical system, this solution fails to meet the user’s requirements. In view of the above prior art, it can be understood that many systems have been designed in an attempt to provide a similar solution, however, they are bulky, expensive, and inefficient.
[0009] In light of the foregoing, there is a need for a method and system for multi-tier data relaying in agriculture and remote sensing IoT applications. All publications herein are incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication or patent application were specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference. Where a definition or use of a term in an incorporated reference is inconsistent or contrary to the definition of that term provided herein, the definition of that term provided herein applies, and the definition of that term in the reference does not apply.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
[0010] The principal object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art by providing a method and system for multi-tier data relaying in agriculture and remote sensing IoT applications.
[0011] An object of the present invention is to provide a method and system for multi-tier data relaying in agriculture and remote sensing IoT applications that lead to the considerable possibility of remote monitoring or sensing and controlling of automation processes which would in turn significantly rely on networking and related infrastructure.
[0012] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method and system for multi-tier data relaying in agriculture and remote sensing IoT applications that propose a multi-tier network model which eventually culminates in an Internet-connected sensing and automation solution for agriculture and remote sensing applications.
[0013] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method and system for multi-tier data relaying in agriculture and remote sensing IoT applications that develop an ultra-large scale non-hierarchical wireless Ad-Hoc network called WON (Worldwide One Network) or WON (Worldwide Open Network) OR WOON (Worldwide One Open Network).
[0014] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a method and system for multi-tier data relaying in agriculture and remote sensing IoT applications, wherein the system and method are easy to implement and time efficient.
[0015] The foregoing and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following detailed description of the embodiments as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
SUMMERY OF INVENTION
[0016] The major hypothesis of this research proposal is to build a Worldwide One Network - WON, which would be open for any communicating device owned by individuals to join the network automatically and communicate instantly to its desired peer. Intention is that every device on the network would be owned, operated and maintained by individuals and will aid in building networks for other’s use too.
[0017] Alternative to the concept of fixed location IP based network address, GPS or Geo Location based addressing is proposed. Latitude + Longitude + Unique Name combination would be used to address/identify a networked or communicating device on WON. Unique Name could be a person's name, a combination of numbers or any unique representation of alphanumeric code which will distinguish between one networked device and another networked device which is in the vicinity of the same geo location.
[0018] Unlike existing LAN or Internet, each networked device on WON is a communicating entity and additionally a routing and/or packet forwarding device. Globally this would be a single network and will be using Mesh Topology, but logically grouped for N number of devices or confined to geographical area A. Since each networked device is geo location aware, routing of packets to final destination will simply be based on shortest path resolution.
[0019] Packet forwarding devices need not be aware of the complete route to the final destination. Knowledge of its next immediate closest neighbor is sufficient. This domain calls for a lot of research. Devices would be free to move around anywhere on the Earth, WON will facilitate automatic reroute and path negotiation. ISM Band 2.4GHz and/or 5.8GHz based wireless communication techniques are initially proposed, and if need arises in future, ISM Band's 24GHz spectrum allocation could also be used. Only limitation is that adjacent devices should be within wireless communication range defined by ITU and FCC for ISM Band devices.
[0020] It is not necessary that each device should have a GPS/GNSS module to identify its Latitude and Longitude coordinates, it suffices if it is aware of its location by any means. Probably a distributed controlling agency device would have to maintain all registered devices on the network. Security of the network has to be envisioned. Currently all communication over the proposed conceptual network would be unencrypted. Even though the proposed concept of all devices on this Earth over a single network seems to be a farfetched or a hypothetical idea, at least in an urban scenario WON's practical implementation seems viable, and in future hypotheses may result in reality.

[0038] The present invention relates to a method and system for multi-tier data relaying in agriculture and remote sensing IoT applications that propose a multi-tier network model which eventually culminates in an Internet-connected sensing and automation solution for agriculture and remote sensing applications. The method and system develop an ultra-large scale non-hierarchical wireless Ad-Hoc network called WON (Worldwide One Network). The system and method are easy to implement and time efficient.
[0039] Referring now to Figure 9, the present invention provides a system for multi-tier data relaying in remote sensing IoT applications. The system comprises a plurality of sensing nodes, a gateway, cloud storage, a controlling system, a network, and one or more electronic devices.
[0040] The sensing nodes are provided for collecting predefined data. The predefined data includes soil and air monitoring factors, weather monitoring factors, and air monitoring factors. The sensing nodes are placed at different locations. The network uses geo coordinates datum to identify the location of a source and destination nodes. The network is used for transferring the sensed information from any sensing node to the system. The network uses a wi-fi module, a frequency waves-based data sharing module such as Bluetooth, or a satellite-based data sharing module, etc.
[0041] The gateway receives sensed and collected data received from the sensing nodes. The system may be implemented for any numbers of sensing nodes. The gateway transfers the collected data to the cloud storage once system is connected to the internet. The cloud storage that stores the received data virtually for future operations. The cloud storage is a virtual information storing unit. The cloud storage stores information in form of electronic data. Initially, the cloud storage is provided with a plurality of predefined information. In an exemplary non-limiting implementation of the present invention, the database is provided with crop name, crop requirements, fertilizer inputs, minimum moisture requirement, crop plant diseases, etc.
[0042] The controlling system is integrated with a plurality of software and hardware module. The software modules may include one or more processing instructions, a plurality of pre-stored monitoring algorithm, a virtual timer and a virtual identity. The monitoring algorithm adapts learns, modifies, and monitors the collected data as per predefined data operations, and predicts the predefined agricultural possibilities. The electronic devices allow owners thereof to access the data stored in the database through a server. The electronic device includes a mobile phone, a laptop computer, a personal computer, a tablet computer, a smartwatch, or any other Internet of Things based electronic device embedded with an android, an iOS operating system or web-based operating system.
[0043] The present invention provides a method for the node location identification. The method includes an initial step of scanning of neighboring sensing nodes. At next step, an accurate relative location is computed if the number of nodes is greater than or equal to 8. At next step, an optimal relative location is computed else if the number of nodes is greater than or equal to 5. At next step, a course relative location is computed if the number of nodes is greater than or equal to 3. The next step includes process of negotiating for an actual location or relative location else if the number of nodes is greater than or equal to 1. The SSID is set if coordinates are known otherwise setting SSID as (0,0,0,0). The system generates an alert based on alerts set by the user. The alert is an email or a text message or a call, or audio message, or a video message.
[0044] In one more embodiment of the present invention, the processor includes a machine-learning module that uses previous data processing results as feedback to train the system to generate new predicted results. The previous machine customization results are stored in the cloud storage.
[0045] The present invention focuses on building a physical network of nodes and evaluate the localization process based on measurements in comparison to simulations of related works. Experimental setup caters to both indoor and outdoor measurement activities. Further in this section a detail account of the experimental setup is discussed. Exploratory Setup: Ai-Thinker's ESP-12E (see Figure 1) variant built around ESP8266 a Commercially Off the Shelf (COTS) available low-cost Wi-Fi device is chosen as the primary communication and RSSI measurement node. This device implements an omnidirectional inverted-F antenna and operates in one of configured IEEE 802.11b/g/n mode. Transmission power during the actual experiment process could vary depending upon the mode of operation. Typical value is at +16dBm with a tolerance of +/- 1dBm.
[0046] The ESP-12E module is programmed with microPython [33] to operate as a standalone communicating entity without any fixed infrastructure, to initiate the RSSI scanning process and log data, a commercial wireless router (D-Link Dir-600M N150 Broadband Wireless Router) is utilized as an Access-Point (AP). A PC and Raspberry-Pi 3B connected with ESP8266-ESP01 Wi-Fi module are used as parallel data logger (see Figure 2). ESP8266-ESP01 Wi-Fi module is low pin count variant of ESP-12E with similar operating parameters and performance. Various sensors and actuators ranging from simple soil moisture sensors to very sophisticated nutrient sensors could be expected to operate in a forward thinking, futuristic farmer’s plot. The same is depicted in figure-6.1, all the possible WON and related communication modes are listed below and refers to same figure:
[0047] Only WON: All sensors and actuators are assumed to be WON enabled and can communicate over WON to its desired peers. As an example, a WON based data center is depicted in the figure. The data center to be considered as a high data storage and processing device which is enabled with WON communication capabilities. In this communication scenario there is no other communication protocol involved other than WON.
[0048] WON - Phone - WON: This scenario is an extension of the above communication use case, expert that smart phone, tablet PC or similar device with WON capability is assumed to be in possession of the farmer or located in the farm which acts as a data aggregator for all the sensor and actuators. This aggregator could either process the collected data and forward to the desired WON destination peer or directly forward the collected data to desired WON peer or peers. Further the aggregating device can act as buffer, transport and forward agency for WON packets, this scenario is briefed in the next communication use case scenario.
[0049] WON to WON Transport: If there is no route available between the farm’s WON cluster and the desired WON destination peer in this example a data center, then the WON Transport Relaying mechanism could be employed. A transport entity could be either a farmer's own smartphone or any other WON enabled device which is mobile and transported towards the data center WON cluster.
[0050] WON to Gateway: There will be requirements of connectivity to Internet based data centers or cloud servers, in these scenarios a WON to Internet protocol bridging device like a smartphone or a dedicated piece of hardware would be required, and these types of devices will be considered as gateway. A WON node itself can act as a gateway device by switching its operating protocols and the same physical device could be used for both types of communications. Gateways could be developed to bridge WON to many other communication protocols like Zigbee, Bluetooth, Hart, etc and not limited to the Internet alone.
[0051] WON Transport Gateway: This communication use case is an extension to the previous WON to Gateway scenario. The absence of WON communication route between WON nodes and gateway is augmented by buffer, transport and forward to gateway is augmented by this communication use case extension. This mode of communication can be considered as a combination of WON-to-WON Transport and WON to Gateway communication modes.
[0052] The aforementioned communication modes facilitated by WON are not restricted solely to agricultural applications. Instead, they can be expanded to encompass any geographic area, extending beyond rural regions to locations where there is a need for such communication capabilities to address specific requirements.
[0053] Given these many modes, the eventual goal will be to transmit desired data from source to destination efficiently and in real time, in this regard a high-level algorithmic approach to switching between different communication modes including WON is presented below:
[0054] Determine the network topology: Assess the current network topology and identify the availability and connectivity of different communication modes, within the WON infrastructure invoke Maximum Reach Protocol to ascertain reachability of desired WON Peer.
[0055] Evaluate communication requirements: Analyze the communication requirements of the application or system utilizing WON. Consider factors such as data volume, latency, reliability, and security need to determine the most suitable communication mode.
[0056] Assess mode availability: Check the availability and compatibility of the desired communication mode in the current network configuration. Consider factors such as device capabilities, network coverage, and infrastructure support.
[0057] Evaluate mode performance: Assess the performance metrics of the available communication modes, including factors like bandwidth, latency, and reliability. Compare the performance characteristics to determine the most appropriate mode for the specific communication requirements.
[0058] Select optimal mode: Based on the evaluation of the available modes and their performance metrics, select the mode that best meets the communication requirements while considering the current network conditions.
[0059] Establish mode transition criteria: Define the criteria for switching between communication modes. These criteria could include factors like network congestion, device availability, signal strength, or specific application requirements. Determine the thresholds or triggers that indicate the need for a mode transition.
[0060] Implement mode switching logic: Implement the algorithmic logic that detects the mode transition criteria and triggers the switch between communication modes. This logic should handle the necessary configurations, routing updates, and connection establishment procedures.
[0061] Monitor and adapt: Continuously monitor the network conditions, performance metrics, and mode requirements. Adjust the mode switching algorithm as needed to ensure optimal performance and adapt to changes in the network environment.
[0062] To simulate the algorithmic flow a farming plot of approximately 3 acres is chosen as it is the average agricultural landholding in India[annual]. Area of 3 acres corresponds to approximately 12140 square meters and can be considered as a 111 x 111 square meter area. WON’s addressing capability allows more than 12140 nodes placement in the given area, from a realistic perspective 64 WON nodes in 8 x 8 uniform grid placement as shown in figure 6.3 is considered.
[0063] An 8 x 8 grid network with 64 nodes and a fully connected network will have a density of 0.056, and a maximum hop count of 14. If the farmer’s smart device or phone is considered as one node amongst the 64 WON nodes then, a 1024 bytes data packet from farthest node will arrive in less than 4mS. Hence if every node in the network wishes to send data to farmer’s device, they all will reach in less than one quarter of a second, which is very well acceptable.
[0064] Beyond the WON or farmer’s device if the data has to be transmitted to any other peer using another non-WON based mode or even WON transport mode, the time taken by the data packets to arrive at the destination will be random and not apt to simulate. In this regard such possibilities have to be tested in real world implementations, which are reserved as future work of this research endeavor.
[0065] The proposed multi-mode data communication model, in conjunction with WON, presents an Internet-connected sensing and automation solution for agriculture and remote sensing applications. The model accommodates various communication scenarios, encompassing WON-only communication, WON-phone-WON aggregation, WON-to-WON transport, WON-to-gateway connectivity, and WON transport gateway configurations. In short, WON's applications transcend agriculture, offering versatile solutions in geographically diverse areas with communication needs. The wide-ranging capabilities of WON hold great potential for driving innovation, connectivity, and efficiency across multiple sectors, serving specific requirements and fostering seamless data exchange.
[0066] Developing an ultra-large-scale autopoiesis and an open network spanning a worldwide geographic area is the primary focus of this research work. This hypothetical network will be named WON - Worldwide One Network or Worldwide Open Network, or even Worldwide One large Network. The proposed features of WON are explained in detail in the following section.
[0067] Scale and Scalability: WON considers at least 512 communicating nodes per cubic meter of geographic volume that makes the number of WON nodes practically infinite and makes it possible for novel addressing schemes is employed using geo-coordinates.
[0068] Homogeneity: All communicating nodes act alike, they all operate as both clients and servers relaying data packets. Every node can initiate communication or start a network cluster. Except for gateways every node will operate in the same frequency band-based channels.
[0069] Non-hierarchical: WON is envisaged as a non-hierarchical network wherein every node operates in one large network, there could be isolated network clusters but no clustering or grouping from an addressing perspective. No tiers are formed, and every node operates in a single network order.
[0070] Openness: Any communication device compatible with WON networking protocol, in terms of Physical, MAC, Network, and Application Layers are allowed to join, communicate and leave the network as per its free will.
[0071] Addressing: Geographic coordinates, Latitude + Longitude, Eliviation, and Unique ID constitutes the address of every node in WON. As the former 3 sets of information are unique at each geographic location the address too will be practically unique and differentiable. The proposed addressing mechanism’s address size may vary between 80 bits to 96 bits and allows for a practically sufficient number of addresses for all communicating nodes in WON.
[0072] Autopoiesis: The complete network will be self-governed based on predefined rules, by which networks will be formed, data packets will be relayed, multiple access controlled and QoS maintained.
[0073] Feasibility, methodology of testing the hypothesis and implementation strategy is explained in the further sections of this chapter.
[0074] The successful deployment of WON brings significant advantages to both static and mobile nodes related applications. In both scenarios, the network is designed to be dynamic, allowing nodes to join or leave the network at their discretion. In this regard potential applications of WON are briefly discussed in this chapter, and in specific a multi-mode data relaying application for agricultural needs or rural deployment in general.
[0075] Various modifications to these embodiments are apparent to those skilled in the art from the description and the accompanying drawings. The principles associated with the various embodiments described herein may be applied to other embodiments. Therefore, the description is not intended to be limited to the 5 embodiments shown along with the accompanying drawings but is to be providing the broadest scope consistent with the principles and the novel and inventive features disclosed or suggested herein. Accordingly, the invention is anticipated to hold on to all other such alternatives, modifications, and variations that fall within the scope of the present invention and appended claims.
