Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) for Reliable Underground Connectivity Sensors will be buried within the soil, requiring
autonomous operation over years using tiny batteries
robust communication schemes for overcoming the high path-loss within the soil
LPWAN are a new communication approach that cover the requirements, as they are optimized for very high maximum coupling loss soil
attenuation very low complexity low cost and low energy
FutureIOT uses LPWAN based on ETSI TS 103 357

Principle of underground communication, the path-loss within the soil LSoil with typical values of 100 dB/m is highly dominating the overall path-loss
Summary and Future Work
The Bavarian research project “FutureIOT” aims at covering the complete IoT chain Its sub-project “Soil Monitoring” is developing new solutions for Agriculture 4.0
The sub-project includes Development of nitrogen sensors for optimized use of fertilizers Application of sensors for optimized irrigation Low Power Wide Area Networks for reliable connectivity of buried sensors IoT platform
The full functionality of the developed components will be analyzed in extensive field trials
