Abstract

The adoption of modern technology into farming has seen significant expansion to enhance the quality and quantity of crop production. In this research work, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and the Internet of Things (IoTs) are integrated to provide a real-time crop monitoring system to farmers. Usually, battery-powered IoT devices equipped with sensors like temperature, humidity, motion sensors, etc. are placed across agriculture areas for real-time monitoring of crops and cattle. In improving energy efficiency and reducing delay clustering multi-hop routing has been used with good effect; However, the existing methods failed to enhance network lifetime and target coverage due to failure in addressing load-balancing and hotspot problems. In addressing research problems this paper presents an Energy and Delay Aware Routing (EDAR) scheme for heterogenous WSN-IoTs leveraging unequal grouping of networks and adoption of multipath routing for provisioning IoT applications. The simulation outcome shows the EDAR model achieves very good performance in terms of throughput and lifetime performance with minimal delay and communication overhead.
