Design and Simulation of a Meteorological Data Monitoring System Based on a Wireless Sensor

Abstract

A system for observing meteorological data based on a wireless sensor network (WSN) is designed to fulfill the business requirements for meteorological data observation in unattended areas. The WSN is based on the ZigBee communication protocol, which can implement a system with low power consumption, self-organizing capability, and a large scope. The hardware design is based on the CC2530 chip, which is the first ZigBee system on chip produced by the TI company. The WSN designed by the improved distance vector-hop localization algorithm for a wireless sensor using simulation software demonstrates the effectiveness of the algorithm. The system ensures the accuracy and reliability of the meteorological observation data.
