1. Introduction
With the rapid development of IoT technology, wireless sensor networks (WSN) have been widely used in environmental monitoring, industrial automation, smart agriculture, and other fields. WSNs have characteristics such as distributed, self-organizing, and low power consumption, enabling real-time monitoring and data collection of target areas. Continuous monitoring of environmental temperature is a key requirement in many application scenarios, such as greenhouse control, cold chain logistics, and weather forecasting. This paper constructs a WSN system based on the XBee wireless module for continuous monitoring of environmental temperature, aiming to provide a low-cost, reliable, and easy-to-deploy solution. The XBee module, as a mature ZigBee wireless module, has advantages such as low power consumption, low cost, and ease of use, making it very suitable for building WSN systems.
2. System Hardware Design
This system mainly consists of multiple temperature sensor nodes and a central node. Each sensor node contains a temperature sensor (e.g., DS18B20), an XBee S2C wireless module, and a microcontroller (e.g., Arduino Nano). The temperature sensor is responsible for collecting environmental temperature data, while the microcontroller handles data processing and wireless transmission. The XBee S2C module connects to the microcontroller via serial communication and is responsible for sending data to the central node. The central node is also equipped with an XBee S2C module and a computer to receive and process data from various sensor nodes. The XBee module of the central node connects to the computer’s serial port, and data is displayed and stored in real-time through upper computer software. To ensure the stability and reliability of the system, each node is equipped with independent power supply and power management strategies to extend the operating time of the nodes.
3. Software Development
The system software mainly includes two parts: the sensor node program and the central node program. The sensor node program is responsible for reading temperature sensor data, performing data preprocessing (e.g., filtering, calibration), and sending the processed data to the central node via the XBee module. The central node program is responsible for receiving data from various sensor nodes, parsing, storing, and displaying the data. The sensor node program is written in C language, developed and compiled using Arduino IDE, while the central node program is written in Python language, using the PySerial library for serial communication. To facilitate data management and analysis, the central node program stores the received data in a database and provides a graphical interface to display real-time temperature data and historical data.
4. Data Collection and Processing
The data collection process of the system is continuous, with each sensor node periodically collecting temperature data and sending it to the central node. To improve data collection efficiency and reduce data redundancy, the system adopts a polling mechanism, where the central node sequentially sends requests to each sensor node and then receives response data from the sensor nodes. Data preprocessing includes filtering and calibration steps. Filtering can remove noise from the data, improving data accuracy; calibration can compensate for the temperature sensor’s inherent errors. This system uses a simple moving average filtering method and calibrates the temperature sensor’s error coefficient through experimental calibration.
5. Network Optimization Strategies
To improve the reliability and efficiency of the network, this system employs a series of network optimization strategies:
-
Channel Selection: Choose appropriate wireless channels to avoid channel interference.
-
Power Control: Adjust transmission power based on the distance between nodes and environmental conditions to reduce energy consumption.
-
Data Compression: Compress the collected data to reduce data transmission volume.
-
Retransmission Mechanism: Adopt an automatic retransmission mechanism to ensure data transmission reliability.
-
Network Topology Optimization: Choose appropriate network topology structures, such as star or tree topology, based on actual application scenarios.
6. Conclusion and Outlook
This paper constructs a WSN system based on the XBee module for continuous monitoring of environmental temperature, which has advantages such as low cost, low power consumption, high reliability, and ease of deployment. Experimental results verify the effectiveness and practicality of the system. Future research can further explore several aspects:
-
More Advanced Data Processing Algorithms: Use more advanced filtering algorithms and data fusion algorithms to improve data accuracy.
-
Adaptive Network Management: Dynamically adjust network parameters based on network status to enhance adaptability and robustness.
-
Enhanced Security: Introduce security mechanisms to prevent data theft or tampering.
-
System Scalability: Add more types of sensors to monitor more environmental parameters.
In summary, the XBee-based wireless sensor network has broad application prospects in the field of continuous monitoring of environmental temperature, and this research provides an effective reference solution for building such systems.
