Email: [email protected] Received: 15 January 2021; Accepted: 17 February 2021 Abstract: Wireless sensor network (WSN) is considered as the fastest growing technology pattern in recent years because of its applicability in var- ied domains. Many sensor nodes with different sensing functionalities are deployed in the monitoring area to collect suitable data and transmit it to the gateway. Ensuring communications in heterogeneous WSNs, is a critical issue that needs to be studied. In this research paper, we study the system performance of a heterogeneous WSN using LoRa–Zigbee hybrid communi- cation. Specifically, two Zigbee sensor clusters and two LoRa sensor clusters are used and combined with two Zigbee-to-LoRa converters to communicate in a network managed by a LoRa gateway. The overall system integrates many different sensors in terms of types, communication protocols, and accuracy, which can be used in many applications in realistic environments such as on land, under water, or in the air. In addition to this, a synchronous man- agement software on ThingSpeak Web server and Blynk app is designed.

In a networked scenario organisations often need several people (may be at different locations) to input and process data simultaneously. In order to achieve this, a computer-networking model in which a number of separate but interconnected computers do the job has replaced the earlier standalone-computing model. By linking individual computers over 4 7 Network Fundamentals a network their productivity has been increased enormously. A most distinguishing characteristic of a general computer network is that data can enter or leave at any point and can be processed at any workstation.

Ahuja, Ph.D. Fidelity National Financial Distinguished Professor of CIS School of Computing, UNF IEEE 802.5 (Token Ring): Ring Topology Shared ring medium: all nodes see all frames Round Robin MAC Protocol: determines which station can transmit A special 3-byte pattern, the token, circulates around the ring perpetually and represents the "right to transmit" This establishes round-robin media access Data flow is unidirectional All data flows in a particular direction around the ring; nodes receive frames from their upstream neighbor and forward them to their downstream neighbor Data rate: 4 or 16 Mbps R R R R IEEE 802.5 (Token Ring) Operation The token bit sequence circulates around the ring. Each station forwards the token if it does not have a frame to transmit. A station with data to send seizes the token (repeater now in transmit state) and begins sending it’s frame. It can transmit for length of time called the Token Hold Time (THT) = 10 mseconds. Each station forwards the frame. The destination station notices its address and saves a copy of the frame as it also forwards the frame. When the sender sees its frame return, it drains it from the ring and reinserts a token. When the last bit of the returning frame has been drained, the repeater switches immediately to the listen state.
