In the evolving landscape of Industry 4.0, the convergence of peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, LoRa-enabled wireless sensor networks (WSNs), and distributed hash tables (DHTs) represents a major advancement that enhances sustainability in the modern agriculture framework and its applications. In this study, we propose a P2P Chord-based ecosystem for sustainable and smart agriculture applications, inspired by the inner workings of the Chord protocol. The node-centric approach of WiCHORD+ is a standout feature, streamlining operations in WSNs and leading to more energy-efficient and straightforward system interactions. Instead of traditional key-centric methods, WiCHORD+ is a node-centric protocol that is compatible with the inherent characteristics of WSNs. This unique design integrates seamlessly with distributed hash tables (DHTs), providing an efficient mechanism to locate nodes and ensure robust data retrieval while reducing energy consumption. Additionally, by utilizing the MAC address of each node in data routing, WiCHORD+ offers a more direct and efficient data lookup mechanism, essential for the timely and energy-efficient operation of WSNs. While the increasing dependence of smart agriculture on cloud computing environments for data storage and machine learning techniques for real-time prediction and analytics continues, frameworks like the proposed WiCHORD+ appear promising for future IoT applications due to their compatibility with modern devices and peripherals. Ultimately, the proposed approach aims to effectively incorporate LoRa, WSNs, DHTs, cloud computing, and machine learning, by providing practical solutions to the ongoing challenges in the current smart agriculture landscape and IoT applications.

“…Below are the most interesting ones. For the beginning, a detailed description of the NB-IoT basics and deployment scenarios of it presented in articles [5,8,9]. In it the authors of the study theoretically proved that each scenario meets the strictest requirements of the 3GPP specification [1] for deep indoor coverage (Maximum Coupling Loss (MCL) = 164 dB), supports up to 52 thousand devices, provides low latency (> 10s) and battery life of NB-IoT devices up to 10 years.…”

Narrow-band Internet of Things is a new promising radio technology standard that addresses the requirements of the IoT. The technology provides improved indoor coverage, support of massive number of low data rate devices, low delay sensitivity, ultra-low device cost, low device power consumption and optimized network architecture. The technology can be deployed in three different operational modes: (1) in-band, (2) guard-band, or (3) standalone in dedicated spectrum. The choice of NB-IoT deployment scenario has a significant impact on the quality and performance of the network.In this article, presented the results of an experimental study of the performance of all three scenarios for NB-IoT deploying in a real working cellular network under equal operating conditions for consideration. The following parameters chosen as an assessment measure: radio coverage, network capacity and user experience. The research shown that exact the standalone mode provide the best performance for these parameters. In addition, we have confirmed that all three NB-IoT scenarios coexist perfectly on 2G/4G networks and satisfy the original requirements of 3GPP's in deep coverage and robust quality of network service.
