Abstract
The integration of Internet-of-Things technology with traditional agricultural irrigation is a crucial factor in the advancement of traditional agricultural irrigation towards smart irrigation. Despite the widespread use of conventional irrigation methods in many areas, they lead to the significant wastage of both human and water resources. Therefore, the development of energy-saving and efficient intelligent irrigation systems through the application of Internet-of-Things technology and wireless communication technology is the way forward. This paper summarizes the common wireless communication technologies in the agricultural Internet of Things: Fifth-generation, WiFi, ZigBee, LoRa, and NB-IoT. The research status of the above wireless communication technology in agricultural irrigation management is discussed, and the agricultural irrigation management example using the above wireless communication technology is also presented. The advantages and limitations of the application of the above wireless communication technology in agricultural irrigation management are sorted out. Finally, this paper analyzes the challenges of data security issues, data fusion problems, intelligent irrigation system costs, power and energy problems, and system equipment failures faced by the use of IoT wireless communication technology in agricultural irrigation management. This review aims to assist researchers and users in choosing the most suitable wireless communication technology for diverse applications.
