Abstract
Drip irrigation, a type of micro-irrigation system, has been applied in agriculture, forestry, and urban greening. In order to cut down the labor cost and improve agricultural efficiency, modern technology, such as communication methods, or computer science, has been used in drip irrigation for irrigating a wide area. The Internet of Things (IoT) used computing, intelligent mobiles, and mobile app to perform remote monitoring and control tasks. The 5G network is a new generation technology standard that is helpful to massive expand today’s IoT technology. This paper proposes a frame structure for a drip irrigation remote control system (DIRCS) using 5G-IoT technology and mobile app. The system can be operated by people who are anywhere in the world using a mobile device. We utilize 5G-IoT technology to realize data storage and sharing in the platform. Moreover, we design layered software architecture to the presented IoT platform as an alternative technique to manage all the systems. Therefore, the drip irrigation system can be controlled remotely to overcome the previous problems like distance problem, range problem. The prototype demonstrates the effectiveness and efficiency of the design in the result.
