The meter reader enters the meter reading system to calculate the cost after getting the reading. This work is not only labour-intensive, but also inefficient. In addition, incorrect reading may occur due to human errors. With the development of the wireless communication technology, a wireless communication technology named LoRa for long-distance and low-power-consumption devices appeared. LoRa is a wireless communication technology with long transmission distance, low power consumption, low transmission speed, low complexity and low cost. It is mainly used in automatic control and internet of things. Through the comparison and analysis of several wireless communication technologies, a gas meter reading platform based on LoRa spread spectrum and wireless sensors is proposed. First of all, this paper briefly introduces the LoRa wireless communication technology and machine vision technology. Secondly, it gives a detailed introduction to the overall design of the system which includes system architecture design, information acquisition terminal, image acquisition module and wireless sensor module. Finally, an experiment is carried out in a residential area. The results show that the gas meter reading platform based on LoRa and wireless sensor network has a high practical value.</span>

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), is in the rapid development and widely applied to many fields in recent years due to its low cost, low power consumption and so on. This thesis focuses on the design method of low power consumption and small size WSN node based on ZIGBEE protocol. The main research work and achievements of the thesis are as follows: Firstly, WSN ZIGBEE protocol is researched in detail. The architecture and each layer's function of ZIGBEE protocol are analyzed, and a node design method based on ZIGBEE protocol is proposed. Secondly, design methods of WSN node are discussed. CC2420 RF chip and ATmega128L microprocessor are chosen as the main chips, and their features and performance are described in detail. Furthermore, design methods of each module circuit are introduced.

Reading System

In view of the current status and shortcomings of existing meter reading systems, in this paper, we proposed an automatic gas meter reading system based on the advantages of gas meter directly reading technology, WSN technology and GPRS technology, introduced the whole scheme and the design of hardware and software in detail. The system is consist of three level network. The first level network and the second level network use the different frequency during communication. It decreases the interface of each other during the translation of the data, and increase the lifetime of the smart gas meter. The system has the advantages of easy construct, flexible layout, lower power consumption

This paper presents the design of wireless sensor network (WSN) based on low-power wide area network technology for high-tech agriculture. This WSN allows the farmer to collect data such as air temperature, air humidity, soil moisture. The WSN system consists of components: 02 wireless sensor nodes, 01 gateway, 01 cloud server and smartphone app. This WSN tested for data transmission in two zones: zone 1 (dense urban environments) at a distance of 500m and zone 2 (urban environments - less obstacles) at a distance of 1,500m and 1,700m. The data collected at different times of the day and updated every 15 minutes. The results show that the wireless sensor network system operates stably, data constantly updated to LoRa Server and there was not data packet loss. The power consumption of sensor node and gateway determined in three operating modes: transmitting, receiving, turn-off. This shows the advantages of LoRa technology in the development of wireless sensor network which is the distance of data transmission distance and low power consumption. Besides this WSN also tested in the net house of aquaponics of the Research Center for High-tech Application in Agriculture (RCHAA), University of Science, Vietnam National University-HCM. The results show that the WSN system is working reliably and promising which brings significantly benefits to smart agriculture as aquaponics, clean vegetable farms, aquaculture farms…

Traditional paper labels on the supermarkets shelves are of many shortcomings such as the high error rate, high losing rate, increasing cost and unrealizable realtime-updating caused by manual management. In order to overcome these shortcomings, this paper aims to design a new Electronic Shelf Label system. Firstly, the overall framework is introduced. Then an ultra-low-power ESL and wireless communication base station modules are studied respectively. The MAC and router protocols are also designed based on Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) to meet the requirement of low power consumption and real-time price update. The Electronic Shelf Label system can improve the efficiency of the label management greatly and enhance customers experiences thus has a wide prospect of application.
