<p><b>In this paper, internet of things (IoT) connectivity in rural areas is investigated. Both fronthaul and backhaul considerations are studied. First, intelligent radio resource management (RRM) and network planning techniques are discussed for IoT access/fronthaul networks. The proposed RRM scheduling approach was shown to lead to good performance in scheduling IoT devices. Then, several backhauling techniques for providing connectivity to rural areas are investigated and their cost efficiency is analyzed. Techniques based on free space optics with solar powered devices are found to be a suitable backhaul solution.</b></p>

Agriculture is the main and fundamental activity on this earth. However, the agricultural sector has not contributed significantly to the mitigation of natural disasters such as loss of biodiversity, migration of watercourses, lack of clean water, and drought. Based on the results of the population census in the last 10 years, Indonesia's population growth rate reaches 1.25% every year. The consequence of the current phenomenon is the scarcity of food and the shrinking of the people's economic condition. The limited availability of irrigation water is a major agricultural problem experienced by the Tawang Makmur Farmers Group (KTTM). Several solutions have been implemented such as scheduling the opening of drainage channels provided by the village and renting diesel pumps on a regular basis. But in fact, these solutions have not been able to properly address the problems experienced by KTTM. So this paper offers a solar-powered photovoltaic (PV) water pump irrigation system that is integrated with the Internet of Things. Since 1970, PV has become an alternative that is often applied to agricultural irrigation systems in rural areas. The system built in this paper utilizes solar power as a power source that supplies water pumps. The Internet of Things is integrated into the system, enabling farmers to monitor and control agricultural areas in real-time and wirelessly through an adequate internet network.  Pertanian merupakan aktifitas pokok nan fundamental di bumi ini. Akan tetapi, sektor pertanian belum memberikan kontribusi secara signifikan mengenai mitigasi bencana alam seperti kehilangan keragaman hayati, migrasi aliran air, kekurangan air bersih, dan kekeringan. Berdasarkan hasil sensus penduduk dalam 10 tahun terakhir, laju pertumbuhan penduduk Indonesia mencapai 1.25% dalam setiap tahunnya. Konsekuensi dari fenomena yang terjadi saat ini adalah kelangkaan bahan pangan dan penyusutan kondisi ekonomi rakyat. Ketersediaan air irigasi yang terbatas menjadi masalah besar pertanian yang dialami oleh Kelompok Tani Tawang Makmur (KTTM). Beberapa solusi telah diterapkan seperti penjadwalan pembukaan saluran drainase yang disediakan oleh pihak desa, dan menyewa pompa diesel secara berkala. Namun faktanya, solusi tersebut belum mampu mengatasi permasalahan yang dialami oleh KTTM secara tepat. Sehingga makalah ini menawarkan sistem irigasi pompa air photovoltaic (PV) bertenaga surya yang terintegrasi dengan Internet of Things. Sejak tahun 1970, PV telah menjadi alternatif yang sering diterapkan pada sistem irigasi lahan pertanian daerah pedesaan. Sistem yang dibangun pada makalah ini memanfaatkan tenaga surya sebagai sumber daya yang menyuplai pompa air. Internet of Things yang diintegrasikan pada sistem, memungkinkan para petani untuk melakukan monitoring dan kontrol terhadap area pertanian secara real-time dan nirkabel melalui jaringan internet yang memadai.

The increasing need for security in microcontrollers Security has long been a significant challenge in microcontroller applications(MCUs). Traditionally, many microcontroller systems did not have strong security measures against remote attacks as most of them are not connected to the Internet, and many microcontrollers are deemed to be cheap and simple. With the growth of IoT (Internet of Things), security in low cost microcontrollers moved toward the spotlight and the security requirements of these IoT devices are now just as critical as high-end systems due to:

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a term that describes a system of computing devices, digital machines, objects, animals or people that are interrelated. Each of the interrelated 'things' are given a unique identifier and the ability to transfer data over a network that does not require human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. Examples of IoT in practice include a human with a heart monitor implant, an animal with a biochip transponder (an electronic device inserted under the skin that gives the animal a unique identification number) and a car that has built-in sensors which can alert the driver about any problems, such as when the type pressure is low. The concept of a network of devices was established as early as 1982, although the term 'Internet of Things' was almost certainly first coined by Kevin Ashton in 1999. Since then, IoT devices have become ubiquitous, certainly in some parts of the world. Although there have been significant developments in the technology associated with IoT, the concept is far from being fully realised. Indeed, the potential for the reach of IoT extends to areas which some would find surprising. Researchers at the Faculty of Science and Engineering, Hosei University in Japan, are exploring using IoT in the agricultural sector, with some specific work on the production of melons. For the advancement of IoT in agriculture, difficult and important issues are implementation of subtle activities into computers procedure. The researchers challenges are going on.

Abstract Background Internet of Things (IoT) devices for remote monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment are widely viewed as an important future direction for medicine, including for bipolar disorder and other mental illness. The number of smart, connected devices is expanding rapidly. IoT devices are being introduced in all aspects of everyday life, including devices in the home and wearables on the body. IoT devices are increasingly used in psychiatric research, and in the future may help to detect emotional reactions, mood states, stress, and cognitive abilities. This narrative review discusses some of the important fundamental issues related to the rapid growth of IoT devices. Main body Articles were searched between December 2019 and February 2020. Topics discussed include background on the growth of IoT, the security, safety and privacy issues related to IoT devices, and the new roles in the IoT economy for manufacturers, patients, and healthcare organizations. Conclusions The use of IoT devices will increase throughout psychiatry. The scale, complexity and passive nature of data collection with IoT devices presents unique challenges related to security, privacy and personal safety. While the IoT offers many potential benefits, there are risks associated with IoT devices, and from the connectivity between patients, healthcare providers, and device makers. Security, privacy and personal safety issues related to IoT devices are changing the roles of manufacturers, patients, physicians and healthcare IT organizations. Effective and safe use of IoT devices in psychiatry requires an understanding of these changes.
