Abstract

The Internet Of Things (IoT) is an innovative internet paradigm that connects billions of smart devices all over the world. It seeks to integrate modern technology into practically all aspects of life to make them easier, smarter, and accessible at any time and from anywhere. We provide a quick overview of the IoT ecosystem, its components, and architecture in this paper. We also show how IoT-based solutions are founded on two essential pillars: information and technologies. As a result, we provide a knowledge view of devices used to gather information in all scopes, designate those used in Agriculture 5.0, and schedule the most widely used IoT technologies and protocols by classifying them into two main categories: Long and Short Range technologies, concluding by highlighting some of their benefits and drawbacks to assist in constructing preferences according to system requirements.

Notes

  1. 1.

    LoRaWAN uses an Adaptive Data Rate (ADR) strategy to optimize data rate, airtime, and energy usage in real time. The fundamental issue with LoRaWAN is that the LoRa standard does not specify how the network server should need rate adaption from command end nodes.

  2. 2.

    (A LoRaWAN gateway may receive several transmissions at the same time (if on different SFs), but it can only send on one channel at a time and cannot receive any. As a result, if the gateway must often enter transmission mode while servicing a high number of nodes, acknowledgment requests will significantly degrade the network’s overall PDR.).
