Reliable bi-directional machine-type communications for smart agriculture

该项目旨在为农业机械类通信开发创新解决方案，通过利用智能传感器、节能的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地区提供稳健的双向覆盖。机器类型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。该项目将使用新的农业机器类型通信理论，并开发测试台，以实现智能农业应用。预计这将有助于智能农场的关键通信基础设施，从而提高农业生产力和国民经济。

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.
