Abstract

Wireless underground sensor networks (WUSN) are an emerging research area that promises to provide communication capabilities for buried sensors. The main difference between the WUSN and the terrestrial wireless sensor networks is the aspect of wireless underground sensor networks which communicates in the soil. Although its deployment is mainly based on underground sensor nodes, WUSN still requires above ground devices for data retrieval, management, and relay functionalities. Therefore, the characterization of the bi-directional communication between a buried node and an aboveground node is essential for the realization of WUSN. In this paper, experiments are run to examine the packet error rate and the received signal strength of correctly received packets for a communication link between an underground sensor node and an aboveground sensor node and between two underground sensor nodes.
