Abstract

Data collection from agricultural fields is tiring and requires novel methodologies to produce reliable outcomes. The combination of edge and wireless sensor networks (WSN) for smart farming enabled the efficient collection of data from remote fields to a vast extent. Adopting an optimization algorithm to achieve the data collection task is prioritized in the proposed work, and a new and effective data collection framework is proposed. The proposed framework initially collects the data from the agricultural fields via sensors and then transmits it to the edge server. The path between the sensors and the edge server is optimally obtained using the cat and mouse based task optimization (CMTO) model. The sensed data are transmitted through the optimal route, and then the edge server obtains and evaluates the data based on the data quality metrics such as precision, correctness, completeness and reliability. The valid data are then identified and transferred to the cloud servers for storage. The simulation of the work is done in Python platform and evaluated using the crop recommender dataset. The evaluations proved the method's efficacy compared to the existing state-of-the-art algorithms. The proposed work also provided upto 12.5% of improvement in terms of energy consumption, 7.14% of improvement in terms of communication latency, 4% of improvement in terms of execution cost, 2.27% of improvement in terms of completeness, 1.12% of improvement in terms of precision, 9.52% of improvement in terms of correctness, and 3.37% of improvement in terms of reliability.
