Abstract :
This paper presents an experiment using a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) in a rural area with focus on precision agriculture. The experiment lasted 90 days and during this time several events were analyzed highlighting the quality of the communication and events of the environment that affected the normal operation of the WSN. This experiment was the starting point for the proposition of a communication architecture model applied to WSN based on Grid.
