Abstract

In this demo, a novel underground communication system and an online underground sensor network testbed is demonstrated. The underground communication system, developed in the Cyber-physical Networking (CPN) Laboratory at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, includes an underground antenna that is tailored to mitigate the adverse effects of soil on underground communication. An online connection is established with the CPN underground sensor network testbed that is located at Clay Center, Nebraska. The underground sensor network testbed consists of a network of underground communication systems equipped with soil moisture sensors and a mobile data harvesting unit equipped with cellular communication capabilities. Real-time soil moisture data delivery from Nebraska to Korea is demonstrated.
