Reliable bi-directional machine-type communications for smart agriculture

该项目旨在开发农业机械类型通信的创新解决方案，通过利用智能传感器启用的高能效上行链路传输和超可靠的下行链路传输，为地形复杂的偏远农业区提供强大的双向覆盖。机器类型的通信已被认为是未来智能农业和智能农场的关键推动因素。该项目将使用新颖的农业机械式通信理论，并开发试验台，使智能农业应用成为可能。预计这将为智能农场的关键通信基础设施做出贡献，这将导致更高的农业生产率和国民经济。

This project aims to develop innovative solutions for agricultural machine-type communications to provide robust and bi-directional coverage for remote agriculture areas with difficult terrain, by leveraging smart-sensor-enabled, energy-efficient uplink transmissions and ultra-reliable downlink transmissions. Machine-type communications have been recognised as a key enabler for the future smart agriculture and smart farms. The project will use novel agricultural machine-type communication theories and develop test-beds to enable the smart agricultural applications. This is expected to contribute to the crucial communication infrastructures for smart farms, which will lead to higher agricultural productivity and national economy.
