An efficient mechanism using IoT and wireless communication for smart farming

Abstract

IoT sensors are able to aggregate data regarding their agriculture field in real time have given rise to the concept of smart farming. The agricultural sector is of great importance to fulfill food resources need of the country. Most industries, including “smart agriculture,” have been completely redone in light of new internet-of-things (IoT) technologies that brought in new quantitative approaches. Such revolutionary changes are upending traditional agricultural practices and presenting new opportunities in the face of a variety of challenges. Agricultural applications involving wireless sensors and IoT devices are analyzed in detail. For agriculture-specific use, such as soil grounding, harvest position, irrigation, bug & insect discovery, a list of available sensors is provided. In this article, we proposed a WSN framework based on the Internet of Things for use in smart agriculture, with different design levels to choose from. The first step is having sensors on the farm which are capable of collecting relevant data and determining the appropriate cluster heads. In addition, the signal strength on the communication link is calculated by means of the signal to noise ratio (SNR) in order to attain reliable and competent information diffusion over long distances. Second, the recurrence of the linear congruential generator is used to ensure the security of information spread as of agricultural sensors to base stations (BS) by means of the linear congruential producer. Comparing the proposed framework to other solutions, the simulation results showed that it significantly improved communiqué routine by standard of 16.3 percent in system throughput, 36.3 percent in packet drop ratio, 12.4 percent in network latency, 18 percent in energy consumption, and 19 percent in routing overheads.
