Abstract

The monitoring of various interest parameters in a culture was proven as a useful tool, which improve the agricultural production. The monitoring of crops in precision farming can be achieved through a multiplicity of technologies; however, using Wireless Sensor Networks results in low-power deployments, thus becoming a dominant option. Our research proposes the development of a new agricultural field monitoring system based on atmospheric sensors capable of measuring the different parameters of the air and soil sensors measuring the soil parameters. In this chapter, we propose a periodic hybrid routing algorithm sensitive to the threshold for the collection of environmental data. The proposed algorithm uses region-based cluster approaches for the deployment of sensor nodes, which provide effective coverage to the entire agricultural area. In addition, a proposed clustering protocol based on the combination of residual energy and distance between neighboring nodes, to obtain optimal Cluster-head and improve energy efficiency in the WSN. The results of the simulation show that the proposed routing algorithm exceeds other well-known algorithms based on packet delivery, energy consumption and network lifetime as a performance measure.
