Abstract:
Embodiments herein provide a system for underground communication. The system includes a surface layer and an underground layer. The surface layer includes an unburied transceiver station connected to a base station. The underground layer includes a buried transceiver station connected to the unburied transceiver station. The underground layer includes an electronic device with a meta-material antenna and a transceiver in communication with the buried transceiver station. Further, the underground layer includes a coordinator in communication with a plurality of sensors nodes and a plurality of routers. The underground layer includes an unburied transceiver station in communication with the plurality of routers and meta-material antenna. The unburied transceiver station in underground layer communicates with the buried transceiver station. The communication is facilitated between the underground layer and base station in the surface layer through either a meta-material antenna or an unburied transceiver station in underground layer, by buried transceiver station.
