Abstract

Electronic Noses (e-noses) are advanced sensors that are being increasingly used in the Internet of Things (IoT) field. They have various applications in environmental monitoring and medical diagnostics. Optimal transmission of odor-related data is essential for fully harnessing the capabilities of these electronic noses in various network environments. This research paper examines the issue of transmitting odor data in Internet of Things (IoT) applications by assessing recent progress in communication and network technologies. A thorough analysis of various network alternatives, such as Ethernet, cellular (4G/5G), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and LoRa, is provided, accompanied by an elaborate table displaying precise technical specifications. The analysis of LoRa, a Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) technology, encompasses an investigation into its architecture, modulation method, device classifications, and protocols such as LoRaWAN. The analysis of Edge Computing and cloud-based approaches for managing odor data in IoT culminates in a tabular presentation that succinctly outlines their advantages and disadvantages. This study provides valuable information to enhance the efficiency of transmitting odor data and effectively utilize electronic nose technology in different emerging applications in the Internet of Things (IoT) field.
