“…Using LoRa, CO2, temperature and humidity values obtained from the food stack are transmitted and concentrated on the gateway and transferred to the servers. This paper is an extension of our initial study [11]. The present study includes both theoretical analysis and the measurement-base assessment of battery life as well as introduces the use of LoRa technology.…”

The last decade has seen multiple research work on the use of LoRaWAN technology in smart agriculture. In open field storage, monitoring is crucial for increasing the logistics efficiency and improving crop quality. As battery maintenance is expensive in such areas, LoRa is a suitable technology that allows for low-power communications. Within the framework of the research, a prototype has been built for tracking goods in open field storage. The battery lifetime has been analysed through calculations and measurements using LoRa communications. Our findings indicate that although sleeping current has the smallest percentage, it has the greatest effect on increasing the battery life, for longer battery life LoRa node must have a low self-discharge battery, and finally, sensors are the main battery depleting factor on the LoRa node.

“…For example, LoRa is cited in [5] in the general framework of IoT; [7] cites LoRa among the most promising technologies for agricultural IoT, and the same plan is followed by [8] which dedicated a subsection to LoRa in Enabling Communication Technologies; similarly [15] includes LoRa in IoT communication protocols suitable for smart agriculture. On the other hand, [16] is specific to LoRa but is focused only on the protocol performance, [13] takes into consideration only the energy consumption of LoRa, [17] discusses the application of the technologies of industry 4.0 in the context of smart agriculture. Papers [18] and [19] deal with specific issues meaning the decision support system and robotics in agriculture respectively.…”

This paper provides a survey on the adoption of LoRa in the agricultural field, and reviews state-of-the-art solutions for Smart Agriculture, analyzing the potential of this technology in different infield applications. In particular, we consider four reference scenarios, namely irrigation systems, plantation and crop monitoring, tree monitoring, and livestock monitoring, which exhibit heterogeneous requirements in terms of network bandwidth, density, sensors' complexity, and energy demand, as well as latency in the decision process. We discuss how LoRa-based solutions can work in these scenarios, analyzing their scalability, interoperability, network architecture, and energyefficiency. Finally, we present possible future research directions and point out some open issues which might become the main research trends for the next years.

“…A well-known example is longrange radio (LoRa), which allows very low energy consumption and long life (i.e., 10 years with battery), low cost, wide coverage and large networks (52,000 devices/channel/cell). This is why LoRa is being used extensively in IoT applications in all fields, including PA [19,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. However, there are numerous WSN deployments in PA that use 802.11 wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) [18,[33][34][35][36][37][38].…”

The application of deficit irrigation techniques is essential in arid or semi-arid areas of the southeast of Spain, where water is a scarce and very costly resource. However, to apply these techniques, it is necessary to carry out preliminary tests on the specific crop in order to develop the models that allow the optimization of water use while achieving acceptable yields. The system proposed in this article demonstrates the feasibility of using wireless technologies available in most facilities (Wireless Fidelity) to deploy a high-density network of nodes with a variety of heterogeneous sensors to collect data from the soil, plant, and atmosphere. The data are sent and stored in a cloud server for real-time visualization from any mobile device and further analysis. The nodes have been developed using low-cost processors and are equipped with batteries and solar panels, allowing their autonomy to be virtually unlimited, as shown by the consumption studies and tests carried out.
