Abstract: This study aims to enhance the performance of Internet of Things (IoT) networks in smart agriculture by integrating probabilistic models and machine learning algorithms. The research addresses the need for efficient, reliable, and scalable IoT infrastructures to support precision farming and sustainable agricultural practices in increasingly complex and data-intensive farming environments. A multi-faceted approach was employed, combining probabilistic modeling and machine learning techniques. IoT sensor networks were simulated using real-world agricultural data, supplemented by a small-scale field deployment. Bayesian networks and Hidden Markov Models were applied to capture system dynamics, while Random Forest, Support Vector Machines, and Long Short-Term Memory networks were used for pattern recognition and predictive analytics. Network performance was evaluated using metrics including latency, throughput, packet loss rate, energy efficiency, scalability, reliability, and data accuracy. The integrated approach significantly improved IoT network performance in agricultural settings. Key improvements include: 25% reduction in latency, 35% increase in throughput, 60% decrease in packet loss rate, 30% improvement in energy efficiency, and 6.5% increase in data accuracy. Adaptive routing algorithms, informed by machine learning predictions, were particularly effective in managing network load during peak agricultural seasons, reducing latency by 18% during these periods. The study relied primarily on simulations and limited field trials. Comprehensive real-world implementation across diverse agricultural environments and larger scale deployments is necessary to fully validate the findings. The research did not address potential cybersecurity challenges in optimized IoT networks, which remains an important area for future investigation.
