Abstract:
Pahang river’s main tributary, Tembeling river, flows through the Taman Negara national park in Pahang, which is an eco-tourism attraction in Malaysia. Tembeling river is the main sources of water and food for its surrounding communities. However, agricultural and recreational development on the river banks, monsoon season flooding, and maritime activities on the river have polluted the river water to levels that can cause the extinction of fish and thus the loss of the fishermen’s income and livelihood. An automated water quality monitoring system at Tembeling River is therefore believed to benefit the ecosystem immensely. But, the limited mobile network coverage, uneven terrain, and dense forest foliage have made it difficult for wireless data transmission. This paper proposes long-range data transmission via multihop short-range Radio Frequency (RF) communication between the remote sensor node(s) and a base station through a network of data extender nodes that utilize the ÂB network layer Energy Aware Communication Protocol (EACP) in order to take advantage of the nodes’ sleep cycles. Thus, this work hopes to contribute towards providing stable, reliable, and energy efficient wireless data transfer technology for deploying Internet of Things (IoT) solutions in rural areas.
