The paper describes the composition of a wireless sensor network for agricultural purposes, including a sensor node, an actuator node and a coordinator node. Based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, a hybrid network architecture with node synchronization via a time slot mechanism is proposed. The WSN model is proposed, which includes the forming functions of nodes, which makes it possible to abandon the matrix of energy characteristics and describe the elements of the network in a simplified form.

The paper proposes a hybrid method of packet routing in a wireless sensor network based on a genetic algorithm that allows you to build a routing table taking into account restrictions on the maximum number of transmissions through each node of the network and, as a result, increase its energy efficiency. The results of experimental studies on BSS with a random configuration of nodes in space are presented and it is shown that the congestion of data packet relay nodes is reduced by 30-40% with an increase in the total length of routes by 10%.
