Autonomous Temperature Sensor for Smart Agriculture: Wireless communication & Networking

In this thesis, the design and implementation of a wireless communication module and an accompanying network are discussed. This wireless communication module is used in a device which communicates frost temperatures measured at orchards. The goal is to gather data on how fruit frost develops on orchards, and to warn a fruit farmer if it starts...

On a tandem queue with batch service and its applications in wireless sensor networks

We present a tandem network of queues 0 , ⋯ , s- 1. Customers arrive at queue 0 according to a Poisson process with rate λ. There are s independent batch service processes at exponential rates μ₀, ⋯ , μ_s _- ₁. Service process i, i= 0 , ⋯ , s- 1 , at rate μ_i is such that all customers of...
