A Review on IoT Based Smart Agriculture

Abstract

The objective of review aims to identify the different platforms, networks and data processing protocols of IoT based smart agriculture for increasing in crop yield. As the world’s population is increasing day by day and the production of food crops is not sufficient as per the requirement. Therefore, scientists and researchers are using IoT to increase production rates, because it is efficient, timely, and requires less human effort. Emerging technologies such as machine learning algorithms, energy harvesting, cloud computing etc. are reviewed in detail for analysing large data of different scale and considering the climatic impact by using real-time operation. The different types of network topologies and protocols used in IoT based smart agriculture along with security challenges are extensively reviewed. A detailed comparison of different type of sensors alongwith different types of emerging technologies used in IoT based smart irrigation system are discussed. Recent research challenges are also identified in the aforementioned domain.
