Internet of Things (IoT) provide a promising Smart irrigation facilitator for continual monitoring and control of environmental parameters, thereby leading to a huge volume of data to be efficiently collected, transferred, processed and stored. The deployment of cloud-based infrastructure with on-field connectedness, allowing information exchange among IoT nodes, and the usage of energy scavenging (e.g., solar power) in feeding them, become necessary, since agricultural fields are in lack of wired energy supply and, often, a reliable (Internet) network coverage. Therefore, these issues can be addressed through the integration of Edge computing in IoT scenarios. An efficient strategy is required to select the best communication technology with a motive of increasing the network performance between the IoT devices, Edge device and cloud. Application Specific Infrastructure Selection (ASIS) is an edge computing model developed to select the appropriate communication protocols according to the infrastructure requirements of three different real time scenarios namely: Assembly line automation, Smart parking system and Automatic irrigation system are deployed to get the most suitable application specific protocol from ZigBee, LoRa (Long Range) and LoWPAN (Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network) to implement in real-time basis. ASIS model is proposed as a network resource manager that is capable of sensing, acting, signal processing, and/or communication abilities to perform a protocol selection according to their physical and technological limitations. Further Edge based ASIS model is developed to enhance the network performance even better when compared with cloud-based model. Automatic irrigation system is extended in the Edge based ASIS model. The overall ASIS system is evaluated by means of network parameters such as network usage, network delay and power consumption. The ASIS model and Edge based ASIS model is deployed in iFogSim simulator that compares each protocol used in the above IoT scenarios. Finally, the scenario of Automatic irrigation system is modeled using Edge based ASIS model where ZigBee with edge performs better compared with cloud-based model. Experimental results show that ASIS based Edge implementation lessen the overall network parameters in contrast to non-edge deployment in automatic irrigation scenario.
