also enhances energy efficiency through effective management of
IoT sensor network topology. The system enhances convenience
by remotely monitoring and controlling smart farm
environmental information while establishing a database that
enables big data analysis in the cloud to optimize the
environment for crop growing. In this paper, we designed and
implemented the dual stack gateway architecture for efficient
topology management that sensor node supports COAP protocol.
