“…Similarly, a semi-definite programming-based localization technique was developed in [132] for MI-based underground sensor networks. Nevertheless, the achievable accuracy for MI-based underground networks was investigated in [136]. All of these works are focused on MI-based communications where the work on EM, acoustic, and VLC do not exist.…”

This paper provides recent advances in the area of Internet of Underground Things (IoUT) with emphasis on enabling communication technologies, networking issues, and localization techniques. IoUT is enabled by underground things (sensors), communication technology, and networking protocols. This new paradigm of IoUT facilitates the integration of sensing and communication in the underground environment for various industries, such as oil and gas, agriculture, seismic mapping, and border monitoring. These applications require to gather relevant information from the deployed underground things. However, the harsh underground propagation environment including sand, rock, and watersheds do not allow the use of single communication technology for information transfer between the surface and the underground things. Therefore, various wireless and wired communication technologies are used for underground communication. The wireless technologies are based on acoustic waves, electromagnetic waves, magnetic induction and visible light communication while the wired technologies use coaxial cable and optical fibers. In this paper, state-of-art communication technologies are surveyed, and the respective networking and localization techniques for IoUT are presented. Moreover, the advances and applications of IoUT are also reported. Also, new research challenges for the design and implementation of IoUT are identified.

“…In [77,261], authors studies how mineral and rocks in underground environment effect the accuracy of localization. The accuracy is also investigated in [85,86,257] for MI-based WUC. It is important to note that localization work exist only for the MI-based and there is no work done in EM-, acoustic-, and VLC-based WUC.…”

Wireless Underground Communication (WUC) is an emerging field that is being developed continuously. It provides secure mechanism of deploying nodes underground which shields them from any outside temperament or harsh weather conditions. This paper works towards introducing WUC and give a detail overview of WUC. It discusses system architecture of WUC along with the anatomy of the underground sensor motes deployed in WUC systems. It also compares Over-the-Air and Underground and highlights the major differences between the both type of channels. Since, UG communication is an evolving field, this paper also presents the evolution of the field along with the components and example UG wireless communication systems. Finally, the current research challenges of the system are presented for further improvement of the WUCs.

“…However, localization is necessary to determine the position of the underground nodes. Nasir Saeed et al resolved this problem using isometric scaling [282] and CRBL (Cramer Rao Lower Bound) in the closed-form to perform 3D localization as opposed to the existing two-dimensional solutions. Lastly, seismic exploration is another one of the uses of IoUT [58].…”

The introduction of technological solutions in agriculture allows reducing the use of resources and increasing the production of the crops. Furthermore, the quality of the water for irrigation can be monitored to ensure the safety of the produce for human consumption. However, the remote location of most fields presents a problem for providing wireless coverage to the sensing nodes and actuators deployed on the fields and the irrigation water canals. The work presented in this thesis addresses the problem of enabling wireless communication among the electronic devices deployed for water quality and field monitoring through a heterogeneous communication protocol and architecture. The first part of the dissertation introduces Precision Agriculture (PA) systems and the importance of water quality and field monitoring. In addition, the technologies that enable wireless communication in PA systems and the use of alternative solutions such as Internet of Underground Things (IoUT) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are introduced as well. Then, an in-depth analysis on the state of the art regarding the sensors for water, field and meteorology monitoring and the most utilized wireless technologies in PA is performed. Furthermore, the current trends and challenges for Internet of Things (IoT) irrigation systems, including the alternate solutions previously introduced, have been discussed in detail. Then, the architecture for the proposed system is presented, which includes the areas of interest for the monitoring activities comprised of the canal and field areas. Moreover, the description and operation algorithms of the sensor nodes contemplated for each area is provided. The next chapter details the proposed heterogeneous communication protocol including the messages and alerts of the system. Additionally, a new tree topology for hybrid LoRa/WiFi multi-hop networks is presented. The specific additional functionalities intended for the proposed architecture are described in the following chapter. It includes data aggregation algorithms for the proposed topology, an overview on the security threats of PA systems, energy-saving and fault-tolerance algorithms, underground El proceso de realizar esta tesis ha comprendido estos últimos años, en los que he crecido tanto personal como profesionalmente. Primeramente, la realización de este trabajo habría sido imposible sin el apoyo de mi familia, quienes me han ayudado a avanzar en los momentos más difíciles. Todo lo que he conseguido ha sido gracias a ellos y a su certeza de que era capaz de lograr todos los retos que se me presentasen. También les quiero agradecer a mis amigos su compañía y apoyo a lo largo de este periodo. No puedo más que agradecer inconmensurablemente la ayuda de mi director de tesis PH. D. Jaime Lloret Mauri, quien me ha guiado en mi trayecto por el mundo académico y me ha aconsejado en los momentos más difíciles. A su vez, le doy todo mi agradecimiento a mi director de tesis Pascal Lorenz por todo su apoyo.Asimismo, no puedo olvidarme de mis compañeros, co...
