In the last years, Precision Farming and Farm Automation in Agricultural field, have been requesting short range wireless communication systems for machine synchronization and long range wireless communication for fleet management, and for production and task control in real time. Existing protocols can meet the requirements only partially: different legislation and product availability in different countries make it difficult to identify a solution for the global market. TCP/IP protocol and GPRS/GSM networks meet some requirements for long range communication, but not for real time communication needed for short range communication. The synchronization specifications require a real time wireless communication protocol affordable, safe and with low latency, in order to ensure a minimum guaranteed throughput apt to synchronize the machine work and travel. Moreover there are some information security requirements to fulfill in order to guarantee safe data transmission. The paper presents a comprehensive proposal based on UDP and IP protocols with embedded controls, apt to create an isochronous wireless communication for machine synchronization, and some other methods and protocols to fulfill long range data communication requirements of the Agricultural field.

Abstract

In the last years, Precision Farming and Farm Automation in Agricultural field, have been requesting short range wireless communication systems for machine synchronization and long range wireless communication for fleet management, and for production and task control in real time. Existing protocols can meet the requirements only partially: different legislation and product availability in different countries make it difficult to identify a solution for the global market. TCP/IP protocol and GPRS/GSM networks meet some requirements for long range communication, but not for real time communication needed for short range communication. The synchronization specifications require a real time wireless communication protocol affordable, safe and with low latency, in order to ensure a minimum guaranteed throughput apt to synchronize the machine work and travel. Moreover there are some information security requirements to fulfill in order to guarantee safe data transmission. The paper presents a comprehensive proposal based on UDP and IP protocols with embedded controls, apt to create an isochronous wireless communication for machine synchronization, and some other methods and protocols to fulfill long range data communication requirements of the Agricultural field.
