Abstract
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have demonstrated research and developmental interests in numerous fields, like communication, agriculture, industry, smart health, monitoring, and surveillance. In the area of agriculture production, IoT-based WSN has been used to observe the yields condition and automate agriculture precision using various sensors. These sensors are deployed in the agricultural environment to improve production yields through intelligent farming decisions and obtain information regarding crops, plants, temperature measurement, humidity, and irrigation systems. However, sensors have limited resources concerning processing, energy, transmitting, and memory capabilities that can negatively impact agriculture production. Besides efficiency, the protection and security of these IoT-based agricultural sensors are also important from malicious adversaries. In this article, we proposed an IoT-based WSN framework as an application to smart agriculture comprising different design levels. Firstly, agricultural sensors capture relevant data and determine a set of cluster heads based on multi-criteria decision function. Additionally, the strength of the signals on the transmission links is measured while using signal to noise ratio (SNR) to achieve consistent and efficient data transmissions. Secondly, security is provided for data transmission from agricultural sensors towards base stations (BS) while using the recurrence of the linear congruential generator. The simulated results proved that the proposed framework significantly enhanced the communication performance as an average of 13.5% in the network throughput, 38.5% in the packets drop ratio, 13.5% in the network latency, 16% in the energy consumption, and 26% in the routing overheads for smart agriculture, as compared to other solutions.
Highlights
In various domains, the technology of wireless sensor network (WSN) [1,2,3] has been used in an efficient way to improve network performances
It is seen from the simulation experiments that the proposed framework improved the performance of network throughput in comparison with the existing solutions by 10% and 17%, respectively
The increase in network throughput for the proposed framework against existing solutions is due to the sharing of data encryption secret keys that are based on the linear congruential generator, such that proposed solution leads to efficient network throughput with consistent network connectivity
Summary
The technology of wireless sensor network (WSN) [1,2,3] has been used in an efficient way to improve network performances. The sensor nodes operate autonomously and construct the network infrastructure in an ad-hoc manner In such infrastructure, nodes have not a stable network topology and they can join the more suitable neighbor for data transmission based on some factors. The sensor nodes sense the observing data and forward towards BS with the help of some gateway and cluster heads. These cluster heads have a role of aggregating the received data packets and relay towards BS. The field of WSN has been exploited by many researchers in the domain of agriculture to improve its performance and reduce the farmer’s burden [28,29]. Data protection is another major research challenge for WSN based applications because of their undependable, uncontrolled, and free-space communication foundation
