“…Table 1 shows a comparison between wireless sensor platforms of interest emphasizing some of the important criteria that were used to choose the sensor platform for the ear tag (Johnson et al 2009). All platforms have on-board sensors supported natively by TinyOS allowing for faster development time and all support wireless radio transmission.…”

A B S T R A C TTemperature and head movement are relevant parameters when analyzing the farrowing behavior of sows. Obtaining these body parameters in a way that is nonintrusive to animals is a major challenge in the harsh farrowing pen environment. Due to the presence of large amounts of metal as well as the unpredictable behavior of animals, such environments are not ideal for wired communication platforms. Intrusive measuring equipment may cause animals to deviate from their normal behavioral patterns invalidating gathered sensor data. Using lightweight, highly mobile and wireless sensor equipment is thus essential for unobtrusive measurements. This article discusses the challenges involved in developing a lightweight and flexible wireless sensor network infrastructure platform used in the analysis of sow behavior during farrowing. The platform is based on the customizable wireless sensor platform Shimmer and the open source software frameworks TinyOS and SPINE. Embedded in hot melt adhesive, the Shimmer modules were used as ear tags providing biologists with head movement and temperature data throughout six months. Focus is on the technical aspects of developing a system faced with mutually exclusive and changing requirements in an iterative and progressive research project, drawing upon the experiences from several stages of live experiments with farrowing sows.

“…SHIMMER uses a Chipcon radio transceiver and 2.4 GHz Rufa™ antenna [88]. Apart from this, there are other network remote technologies like Sun SPOT, IRIS, Mica2/MicaZ, Telos [89]. Among these, Telos was developed by UC, Barkley which used an IEEE 802.15.4 complaint radio claiming to use onetenth of power compared to previous mote platforms [90].…”

Abstract-The paper provides a review on some of the significant research work done on wearable flexible sensors (WFS). Sensors fabricated with flexible materials have been attached to a person along with the embedded system to monitor a parameter and transfer the significant data to the monitoring unit for further analyses. The use of wearable sensors has played a quite important role to monitor physiological parameters of a person to minimize any malfunctioning happening in the body. The paper categorizes the work according to the materials used for designing the system, the network protocols and different types of activities that were being monitored. The challenges faced by the current sensing systems and future opportunities for the wearable flexible sensors regarding its market values are also briefly explained in the paper.

Abstract-In Wireless Sensor Network, the energy efficiency is the key issue for designing the protocol because sensor nodes have one time battery backup. There are many modern protocols which extend the lifetime of the wireless sensor network by efficiently using battery power of the sensor node. In this paper, we propose a new strategy and protocol Energy Level Bases Stable Election Protocol (ELBSEP) in Wireless Sensor Network. We analyze and compare the performance and results of modern protocols like LEACH, SEP, ESEP, TEEN and TSEP with ELBSEP. The simulation result shows that performance and throughput of our proposed protocol gives the effective and significant energy efficiency as well as more network lifetime compared to other protocols.
