ABSTRACT
The Internet of Things (IoT) plays an indispensable role in the field of agriculture. IoT is a sophisticated automation and data analysis structure that makes use of sensing, networking, big data, cloud computing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies that can keep surprising the whole research, business, marketing, and financial areas. The implementation and usage of IoT in agricultural applications can increase productivity and profitability. The evolution of smart sensors and smart devices along with current lightweight communication protocols enhanced the feasibility of interconnecting agricultural things to monitor agriculture fields with full automation and it is called as Internet of Agriculture Things (IoAT). It is the group of agriculture devices or sensors and applications that merge with agriculture cloud platforms. An agriculture device enabled with Wi-Fi facilitates machine-to-machine communications and also facilitates the employment of Wireless Sensor Networks. The proposed IoAT architecture gives an insight into complete IoT fundamental concepts, environmental and deployment sensors, hardware platforms, wireless communication technologies, IoT cloud platforms, and machine learning techniques; different layers are associated with IoAT and its applications.
