Establishing Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) for precision agriculture has become need of time now but few challenges like energy, reliability, cost etc. need to overcome and serve the application in most efficient manner. Considering advantage of open space i.e. Line of Sight (LOS) in agriculture fields and solar presence this paper proposes the novel architecture of WSN which uses existing Radio Frequency/ Free Space Optical (RF/FSO) link model and hybrid energy source for base station for precision agriculture. Randomly deployed sensors consume more energy than organized sensor deployment hence positioning of sensor is critical factor for energy efficiency of WSN. this paper also proposes sensor positioning method for agriculture fields which covers maximum area and minimum energy. Use of available best routing protocol in the application will add more energy efficiency to the system. Reduction in number of sensor nodes to maximum area will also optimize the cost of project. Overall creating win-win situation to establish WSN for precision agriculture is the objective of this paper. Copyright 2012 ACM.

Energy efficient hybrid architecture and positioning of sensors in WSN for precision agriculture

Right to Education is the primary right of every citizen of India, whether a child resides in a high profile society or in a far away not so developed secluded village. The number of schools in rural regions is very less and in addition to it, students are forced to travel long distances without access to clean drinking water and other basic facilities. More often appointed teachers play truant and do not fulfill their basic tasks as a knowledge provider. In few villages it is observed that teachers ask villager to teach students who has hardly completed primary school and is a farmer or barber by occupation. This study is to know the access of different means of communication channels available to rural people and also access to basic information related to education, agriculture and health. To provide information on day to day activities and to overcome all the constraints faced by the rural people, Telecom Technology is the ultimate solution for the rural upliftment.

To enhance productivity of farms there is need to follow mantra by Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) i.e. 'Save & Grow'. Save and Grow directs towards Precision Agriculture (PA) for sustainable crop production intensification. There is challenge to establish information communication technology (ICT) technologies in fields and remote areas. Proposed system is novel platform to establish wireless sensor network (WSN) to execute PA overcoming the challenge to set up wireless sensor and energy efficient network at farms. Hybrid network of free space optics (FSO) and radio frequency (RF) connectivity and use of solar at farms and base station/control station makes it energy efficient. License free, high bandwidth FSO technology enables multimedia data exchange thus opening gate for many applications. Hybrid Hexagonal Positioning (HHP) for sensor nodes has achieved better link utilization compared to other topologies saving energy and increasing lifetime of sensor node and network. Overall energy efficient, centralized, environment friendly system allows cost effective solution to farmers. A village centric model is presented to define applicability of proposed solution. © 2012 IEEE.

H2E2: A hybrid, hexagonal &amp; energy efficient WSN green platform for precision agriculture

Today Information and Communications Technology (ICT) has become an essential part of the common man's life. It is a fact that communication innovations at the global level are occurring at a very fast rate, but its outreach to population in general and rural population in particular is very poor, especially in underdeveloped and developing nations. Of late, the developing nations, like India, have started giving a thrust to developing technology realizing its immense role in changing the economic and social face of its population. Around 65% of the nation's population lives in rural areas. Rural people should have the same quality of life as is enjoyed by people living in sub-urban and urban areas. Further, there are cascading effects of poverty, unemployment, poor and inadequate infrastructure in rural areas on urban centers, resulting in the rise in slums and consequential social and economic tensions manifested in economic deprivation and urban poverty (http://abhinavnirman.in/programmes/rural-development/).

Telecom Technology Transfer in Rural India: A Study with Respect to Marathwada Region in Maharashtra

This study evaluates the role of intraocular lens exchange procedures in the management of major implant-related complications. Medical records of 30 patients undergoing intraocular lens exchange at the Leeds General Infirmary from 1 January 1984 to 30 November 1991 were reviewed. Details of their primary implantation surgery, intervening ophthalmic history, lens exchange surgery and outcome were analysed. Follow-up ranged from 3 to 210 weeks. Seventy-six per cent of cases achieved final visual acuity of 6/12 or better. Visual acuity improved in 60%, worsened in 6.6% and was unchanged in 33.4% compared with pre-operative levels. Three patients had cystoid macular oedema, 3 ocular hypertension, 2 bullous keratopathy, 1 chronic anterior uveitis and 1 patient developed a retinal detachment. This approach to managing major implant-related complications gives good visual results. There is a significant complication rate but the risk-benefit ratio justifies the use of the technique.
