Abstract:
Nowadays, involved novel communication technologies for littoral environment monitoring becomes a necessity. In fact, ensuring reliable monitoring tasks in marine condition require to face up many challenges. The most important one is relative to the harshest environment which impacts considerably the communication capability of the monitoring components as buoys or Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs). Among the proposed solutions in the literature, the use of Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) technologies, part of the Internet of Things (IoT) trend, attracts a great scientific interest. However, any solution based only on the LPWANs communication will not fulfill the expected monitoring quality due to many issues such as the sensing coverage constraint and the LPWANs gateway limitation. In this paper, we provide an analysis of these issues and how they impact environmental monitoring tasks. Therefore, we present our solution based on the cooperative communication between LPWANs and Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (LR-WPANs) to achieve efficient monitoring.
