The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming the agriculture industry and enables farmers to deal with the vast challenges in the industry. Internet of Farming (IoF) applications increases the quantity, quality, sustainability as well as cost effectiveness of agricultural production. Farmers leverage IoF to monitor remotely, sensors that can detect soil moisture, crop growth and livestock feed levels, manage and control remotely the smart connected harvesters and irrigation equipment, and utilize artificial intelligence based tools to analyze operational data combined with 3rd party information, such as weather services, to provide new insights and improve decision making. The Internet of Farming relies on data gathered from sensor of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The WSN requires a reliable connectivity to provide accurate prediction of the farming system. This chapter proposes a strategy that provides always best connectivity (ABC). The strategy considers a routing protocol to support Low-power and lossy networks (LLN), with a minimum energy usage. Two scenarios are presented.

The Internet of Farming be dependent on data gathered from sensor of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The WSN requires a reliable connectivity to provide accurate prediction data of the farming system. This paper introduces a mechanism that gives always best connectivity (ABC). The mechanism considers all stakeholders (mobile node, corresponding node and users) attributes. An empirical simulation shows that the proposed mechanism provides an acceptable ABC to the mobile sensors in the WSN.

<p><em>Abstrak</em> - <strong>Keamanan rumah menjadi hal yang sangat penting ketika pemilik rumah meninggalkan rumah dalam keadaan kosong. Selain pencurian, kebakaran juga merupakan masalah yang sering kali terjadi ketika rumah ditinggal pemiliknya. Sebagai alternatif solusi untuk menjaga dan mengawasi rumah yang diajukan pada penelitian ini ialah menggunakan teknologi Jaringan Sensor Nirkabel yang terintegrasi dengan jaringan internet, sehingga pemilik rumah tetap dapat mengawasi keadaan rumah dari jarak jauh. Pada penelitian ini dirancang prototype sistem rumah pintar atau Smart Home yang memanfaatkan teknologi Jaringan Sensor Nirkabel menggunakan standard Zigbee. Beberapa node sensor ditempatkan pada peralatan rumah, dimana setiap node dapat saling berkomunikasi secara wireless dan terpusat di node kordinator. Selanjutnya node kordinatior akan terhubung ke jaringan internet sehingga pemilik rumah dapat membuka aplikasi smart home kapan saja dan dimana saja. Rancangan sistem <em>Smart Home</em> disimulasikan menggunakan rumah model untuk menguji kinerja perangkat <em>Smart Home</em>. Pengujian kinerja Smart Home dimulai dengan pengujian keakurasian masing masing data sensor hingga waktu respon komunikasi dari sensor ke pusat monitoring. Tingkat error pembacaan suhu disetiap ruangan ialah 1 - 4.27%. Sensor PIR berhasil mendeteksi keberadaan orang di suatu ruangan dengan waktu delay </strong><strong>adalah 2.8 detik dengan jarak maksimal 5 meter</strong><strong>. Fungsi kendali dan monitoring (<em>on/off</em>) perangkat elektronik bekerja dengan baik, dengan waktu respon kurang dari 1 detik. Dari hasil pengujian komunikasi nirkabel antar node, diperoleh bahwa jarak maksimal antar node ialah sekitar 20 m, dengan rata-rata waktu respon pengiriman data ialah 1-2 detik. Adapun waktu respon mengalami delay mencapai 2 detik apabila beberapa perintah kendali dilakukan pada waktu yang bersamaan.</strong></p><p> </p><p><strong><em>Kata Kunci - </em></strong><em>Smart Home</em>, Jaringan Sensor Nirkabel, Zigbee.</p><p> </p><p><em>Abstrak</em><strong> - Home security becomes very important when homeowners leave the house empty. In addition to theft, fire is also a problem that often occurs when the house left the owner. As an alternative solution to maintain and supervise the homes submitted in this study is to use Wireless Sensor Network technology integrated with the Internet network, so that homeowners can still monitor the state of the house remotely. In this study designed prototype smart home system or Smart Home which utilizes Wireless Sensor Network technology using Zigbee standard. Some sensor nodes are placed in the home equipment, where each node can communicate wirelessly and centrally at the coordinator node. Next node coordinate will be connected to the internet network so that homeowners can open smart home application anytime and anywhere. The Smart Home system design is simulated using a home model to test the performance of Smart Home devices. Smart Home performance testing begins with testing the accuracy of each sensor data until the communication response time from the sensor to the monitoring center. The error rate of temperature readings in each room is 1 - 4.27%. PIR sensor successfully detects the presence of people in a room with a delay time is 2.8 seconds with a maximum distance of 5 meters. The control and monitoring functions (on / off) of electronic devices work well, with a response time of less than 1 second. From the results of testing wireless communication between nodes, obtained that the maximum distance between nodes is about 20 m, with the average response time of data transmission is 1-2 seconds. The response time has a delay of 2 seconds if some control commands are done at the same time.</strong><strong></strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong><em>Keywords - </em></strong> <em>Smart Home</em>, Jaringan Sensor Nirkabel, Zigbee.</p>

Nowadays, the Internet of Things enabled Underwater Wireless Sensor Network (IoT-UWSN) is suffering from serious performance restrictions, i.e., high End to End (E2E) delay, low energy efficiency, low data reliability, etc. The necessity of efficient, reliable, collision and interference-free communication has become a challenging task for the researchers. However, the minimum Energy Consumption (EC) and low E2E delay increase the performance of the IoT-UWSN. Therefore, in the current work, two proactive routing protocols are presented, namely: Bellman–Ford Shortest Path-based Routing (BF-SPR-Three) and Energy-efficient Path-based Void hole and Interference-free Routing (EP-VIR-Three). Then we formalized the aforementioned problems to accomplish the reliable data transmission in Underwater Wireless Sensor Network (UWSN). The main objectives of this paper include minimum EC, interference-free transmission, void hole avoidance and high Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR). Furthermore, the algorithms for the proposed routing protocols are presented. Feasible regions using linear programming are also computed for optimal EC and to enhance the network lifespan. Comparative analysis is also performed with state-of-the-art proactive routing protocols. In the end, extensive simulations have been performed to authenticate the performance of the proposed routing protocols. Results and discussion disclose that the proposed routing protocols outperformed the counterparts significantly.
