Project Proposal

Title: Plant Growth Monitoring Simulation

Project Overview: Simulation of plant growth monitoring using Network Simulator 3 (NS-3)
Submission Deadline: The project is to be submitted and showcased by 28th December 2023.
Project Description: The Plant Growth Monitoring Simulation project aims to simulate the growth of
plants in a controlled environment using Network Simulator 3 (NS-3). The simulation will be based on a
structural plant growth model that simulates plant habitat and the factors which affect its growth
included but not limited to humidity, temperature, moisture, etc.

Project Objective: The project’s objectives are to develop a simulation tool that can be used to study
the growth of plants in different environments and to provide insights into the effects of various
environmental factors on plant growth.

Team Members: This is a sole member project.

Project Functionality:
Following are some of the functionalities of the plant growth monitoring simulation:

 Implementation of nodes as sensors.

 Collection of data from these sensors.
 Transmission of the collected data to sync node.
 Setting up the transmission rate and capacity for each node (at sync node).
 Displaying the results

Conclusion: In conclusion, the proposed IoT-based simulation for plant growth monitoring is an
innovative and practical solution that can be used to monitor plant growth in real-time. The use of
sensors such as humidity, moisture, and temperature sensors will enable the collection of data that can
be used to make informed decisions about plant growth. The sync node will process the data and
retransmit it for the final output after doing the necessary calculations and processing. This project has
the potential to be used in real-world scenarios such as agriculture, horticulture, and environmental
monitoring. The challenges faced during the project included the selection of appropriate sensors and
the development of the sync node.
