DESARROLLO DE UNA PLATAFORMA DE TERRITORIOS INTELIGENTES PARA LA AGRICULTURA INTELIGENTE EN EL DEPARTAMENTO DEL TOLIMA

La creciente adopción de la Internet de las Cosas (IoT) está teniendo un profundo impacto en diversos sectores, y la agricultura no es la excepción. IoT se refiere a la interconexión de dispositivos y sistemas a través de Internet con el fin de recopilar, analizar y actuar sobre datos en tiempo real. En este contexto, la tecnología de comunicación inalámbrica LoRaWAN se destaca como una herramienta esencial para conectar una gran cantidad de dispositivos en áreas geográficas extensas.   Este artículo se centra en el desarrollo de una plataforma web y la infraestructura de red requerida para el monitoreo y control de dispositivos IoT con conectividad LoRaWAN, con el objetivo de promover la modernización de la agricultura en las zonas rurales del Departamento del Tolima-Colombia

Indoor vehicles geolocalization using LoRaWAN

[EN] One of the main drawbacks of Global Navigation Satellite Sytems (GNSS) is that they do not work indoors. When inside, there is often no direct line from the satellite signals to the device and the ultra high frequency (UHF) used is blocked by thick, solid materials such as brick, metal, stone or wood. In this paper, we describe a solution based on the Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) technology to geolocalise vehicles indoors. Through estimation of the behaviour of a LoRaWAN channel and using trilateration, the localisation of a vehicle can be obtained within a 20¿30 m range. Indoor geolocation for Intelligent Transporation Systems (ITS) can be used to locate vehicles of any type in underground parkings, keep a platoon of trucks in formation or create geo-fences, that is, sending an alert if an object moves outside a defined area, like a bicycle being stolen. Routing of heavy vehicles within an industrial setting is another possibility.This work was partially supported by the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, Programa Estatal de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación Orientada a los Retos de la Sociedad, Proyectos I+D+I 2018 , Spain, under Grant RTI2018-096384-B-I00.Manzoni, P.; Tavares De Araujo Cesariny Calafate, CM.; Cano, J.; Hernández-Orallo, E.

Large and dense LoRaWAN deployment to monitor real estate conditions and utilization rate

Abstract Internet of Things (ioT) drives today’s world towards digitalization allowing diverse and innovative use cases. These use cases are changing in a fundamental way how people are conducting their business in various verticals. In this paper we focus on the real estate use case. We deploy a monitoring system in a large open space at University of Oulu. The deployed system visualizes real estate conditions of this environment and gives insight to understanding a LoRaWAN IoT-enabled building. The number of the sensor nodes composing the deployed system reaches 331, with each node comprising five sensors providing information about temperature, humidity, CO₂, amount of light, and motion. In the paper we report the results and the lessons learned during the deployment of such an extensive LoRaWAN sensor network. Aside of the practicalities related to the deployment of the network, we characterize and report the performance of the deployed network. The conducted deployment can become a valuable reference for engineers and practitioners, deploying a real estate monitoring system with LoRaWAN

Internet of Things and Sensors Networks in 5G Wireless Communications

The Internet of Things (IoT) has attracted much attention from society, industry and academia as a promising technology that can enhance day to day activities, and the creation of new business models, products and services, and serve as a broad source of research topics and ideas. A future digital society is envisioned, composed of numerous wireless connected sensors and devices. Driven by huge demand, the massive IoT (mIoT) or massive machine type communication (mMTC) has been identified as one of the three main communication scenarios for 5G. In addition to connectivity, computing and storage and data management are also long-standing issues for low-cost devices and sensors. The book is a collection of outstanding technical research and industrial papers covering new research results, with a wide range of features within the 5G-and-beyond framework. It provides a range of discussions of the major research challenges and achievements within this topic
