“…Sink mobility was adopted in previous research [ 99 , 100 ]. Mathur et al [ 99 ] proposed a novel mechanism that adopts unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to gather data from forest regions instead of classical sensing from nodes deployed in WSN. The proposed method enables the UAV to collect data from WSN in harsh terrain and transmit it to the base station situated far from the sensing area.…”

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can be used in agriculture to provide farmers with a large amount of information. Precision agriculture (PA) is a management strategy that employs information technology to improve quality and production. Utilizing wireless sensor technologies and management tools can lead to a highly effective, green agriculture. Based on PA management, the same routine to a crop regardless of site environments can be avoided. From several perspectives, field management can improve PA, including the provision of adequate nutrients for crops and the wastage of pesticides for the effective control of weeds, pests, and diseases. This review outlines the recent applications of WSNs in agriculture research as well as classifies and compares various wireless communication protocols, the taxonomy of energy-efficient and energy harvesting techniques for WSNs that can be used in agricultural monitoring systems, and comparison between early research works on agriculture-based WSNs. The challenges and limitations of WSNs in the agricultural domain are explored, and several power reduction and agricultural management techniques for long-term monitoring are highlighted. These approaches may also increase the number of opportunities for processing Internet of Things (IoT) data.

“…After reviewing the existing mechanism of clustering optimization, the following are the open‐end research problems identified: Adoption of iterative approach: Majority of the existing mechanism have used iterative mechanism towards performing clustering operation. Multiple rounds of similar operation are carried out in recursive order for finding the best cluster head is witnessed.…”

“…In a challenging environment like terrain, it is essential to have better control of the topology. Mobility of sink node is one good option, but existing approaches [45][46][47][48][49][50] have diversified the focus on mobility limited to data aggregation and less towards the energy efficiency. Therefore, the applicability of such studies towards proper topology control cannot be claimed.…”

Summary Clustering is one of the essential operations in wireless sensor network (WSN) to ensure organized data aggregation followed by energy efficiency. However, obtaining optimal clustering performance is yet an unsolved problem in WSN. Review of existing approaches towards cluster optimization shows that effective balance between energy efficiency and topology control is still missing. Therefore, the proposed system presents a unique topology control mechanism using a novel concept of interstellar orientation toward optimizing the clustering performance in WSN. Adopting an analytical research methodology, the proposed system introduces two interstellar‐based topology control system, which targets the maximum saving of resource consumption of the cluster head. The simulated outcome of the study shows that the proposed topology control system offers significant energy conservation performance in comparison to the existing hierarchical clustering scheme in WSN.

“…Near-field techniques are adopted for applications where the distance between the transmitter and receiver is On the other hand, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), commonly known as drones, are an emerging technology that can help future networks achieve better communication performances than the actual base station based networks [3,4]. In addition, due to their mobility and flexibility, UAVs have represented a key enabling technology for the development of a wide range of very innovative applications such as surveillance and military applications [5][6][7], search and rescue operations [8][9][10], remote sensing activities in which UAVs collect the data from sensors and deliver the collected data to ground base stations [11][12][13][14][15], construction and infrastructure inspection [16][17][18][19], precision agriculture for crop management and monitoring [12,[20][21][22], and the delivery of goods [23]. Generally, commercial UAVs come with lithium batteries that provide power for approximately 20-40 minutes of flying time [24].…”

Wireless power transfer (WPT) techniques are important in a variety of applications in both civilian and military fields. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are being used for many practical purposes, such as monitoring or delivering payloads. There is a trade-off between the weight of the UAVs or their batteries and their flying time. Their working time is expected to be as long as possible. In order to support the UAVs to work effectively, WPT techniques are applied with UAVs to charge secondary energy supply sources in order to increase their working time. This paper reviews common techniques of WPT deployed with UAVs to support them while working for different purposes. Numerous approaches have been considered to illustrate techniques to exploit WPT techniques. The charging distances, energy harvesting techniques, electronic device improvements, transmitting issues, etc., are considered to provide an overview of common problems in utilizing and charging UAVs. Moreover, specific problems are addressed to support suitable solutions with either techniques or applications for UAVs.
