agrinfortronics, etc. which allow improved productivity by giving precise information, thus benefiting farmers with superior decisions. Empowering the communication among nanosensors is quite an unresolved challenge. More researches on
network size, harvesting of energy, channel modeling, routing algorithm, and
more advanced MAC protocol are greatly needed to resolve the challenges and
realize this new paradigm.
