Abstract

In last 15 years, wireless sensor network (WSN)-based and internet of things (IoT)-based system effect human on every aspect of our life. WSN grows in rapid pace as it emerges as one of the most important technological developments. Since its emergence, the wireless sensor network (WSN) constitutes one of the most important technological developments in the last decade. It has the potential to affect our lifestyle deeply. However, its success relies greatly on a well-defined architecture that will provide scalable, dynamic, and secure basement to its deployment. The IoT-based architectures are intelligent applications that make energy, logistics, industrial control, retail, agriculture, and many other domains “smarter.” With emergence of wireless sensor network as Internet of Things is a new revolution of the Internet, that is, rapidly gathering momentum driven by the advancements in sensor networks, mobile devices, wireless communications, and networking and cloud technologies. With rapidly increasing wireless sensor network (WSN)- and internet of thing (IoT)-based services; a lot of data is generated. It is becoming very difficult to manage power constrained small sensors and other data-generating devices. WSN or IoTs enables anything can become part of the Internet and generate data. Moreover, data generation needs to be managed according to its requirements, to create more valuable services. For this purpose, integration of WSN or IoTs with cloud computing is becoming very important. The small IoT sensors deployed in agricultural fields measuring the vast amount of information using sensors like air pressure, environmental temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, soil moisture, soil temperature, wind speed, leaf wetness, CO concentration and N, P, and K concentration. These sensors continue to monitor and generate huge data which need to process sensibly to extract key factors.
