Abstract

In this paper, we propose a smart farming system using the visible light communication based on the software defined radio (SDR) technology and the conventional RF radio. The proposed system can continuously monitor growth environments of the LED plant factory and automatically control the LED plant factory to keep optimal growth environments. Furthermore, by creating a database from various growth factors, the LED plant factory can be efficiently managed.

본 논문에서는 software defined radio (SDR) 기술 기반의 가시광 (visible light) 무선통신 및 RF 무선통신을 이용한 스마트 농업 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 스마트 농업을 위하여 무선 센서네트워크를 구축하여 LED 식물공장을 지속적으로 모니터링할 수 있다. 또한, LED 식물공장을 자동으로 제어가 가능하도록 하여 농작물 재배지를 항상 최적의 환경으로 유지할 수 있다. 더 나아가, 농작물 재배 환경을 데이터베이스화하여 농작물 재배지가 보다 효율적으로 관리될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
