Description
The success of a rural wireless monitoring system depends on establishing a
reliable wireless link over the TCP/IP communication protocol in a challenging terrain and
elevation profile. Several studies have shown that link reliability in a rural area can neither
be predicted with high accuracy nor precisely modeled using existing mathematical channel
modeling tools. Hence, the use of the empirical approach to infer wireless link reliability.
This work focuses on the revival of a rural hydrological/water monitoring system with
emphasis on the wireless link located in Tasik Chini, a lake with UNESCO biosphere status.
The contributions of this study include: understudy the link reliability of a centralized
wireless sensor network infrastructure system using the 2G and Long Range (LoRa)
wireless network, the performance limitation of the low data wireless sensor network in a
rural environment, approaches to revive rural water station monitoring center and finally
highlight potential opportunities in rural wireless communications. View less
