“…Optical communication underwater presents a lot of promise to solve this persistent challenge, however, these technologies are in their infancy. [25][26][27][28] Thus, an alternative approach is to store the data in the memory embedded on the platform and transfer the stored data when the animal comes to the surface of the water during its natural behavior. Hueter et al recently demonstrated the usage of a satellite-linked MiniPAT TM system for tracking the movement of Carcharhinus falciformis (silky shark) to understand the ecology of this large, oceanic species.…”

In article number https://doi.org/10.1002/smll.201804385, Muhammad M. Hussain and co‐workers demonstrate an advanced version of the marine skin; a physically compliant standalone biocompatible sensory system for monitoring of marine environment, fully operational at a depth of 2 km continuously for 6 weeks with convenient jacket architecture and may operate up to 1 year. This wearable system is worn by stingrays and sharks for deep sea testing.

“…No single networking standard is self-sufficient for all these communication boundaries; hence, cross-technology communication is needed. Tonolini et al [92] investigated interboundary communication between air and water.

Agriculture 4.0: An Implementation Framework for Food Security Attainment in Nigeria’s Post-Covid-19 Era

The challenge of Nigeria's food insecurity in the era of the Covid-19 pandemic, insecurity, climate change, population growth, food wastage, etc., is a demanding task. This study addresses Nigeria's food insecurity challenges by adopting agriculture 4.0 and commercial farming. Using data from six digital libraries, the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics, and other internet sources, we conducted a Systematic Literature Review (SLR using PRISMA) on Nigeria's agriculture, food security, and agriculture 4.0. Our results show Nigeria's current agricultural state, threats to food security, and modern digital agriculture technologies. We adapted our SLR findings to develop an implementation framework for agriculture 4.0 in solving Nigeria's food insecurity challenge in the post-Covid-19 era. Our proposed framework integrates precision agriculture in Nigeria's food production and the necessary enabling digital technologies in the agri-food supply chain. We analyzed the critical implementation considerations during each agri-food supply chain stage of farming inputs, farming scale, farming approach, farming operation, food processing, food preservation/storage, distribution/logistics, and the final consumers. This study will help researchers, investors, and the government address food security in Nigeria. The implementation of agriculture 4.0 will substantially contribute to SDG 2 (zero hunger), SDG 3 (good health and well-being), and SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth) of #Envision 2030 of the United Nations, for the benefit of Nigeria, Africa, and the entire world.INDEX TERMS Agriculture 4.0, agri-food 4.0, food security, Sustainability, SDG goal 2, implementation framework, supply chain.

“…Alternatively, by combining two techniques without using gateways, such as in acoustic RF [10] or acoustic-optical light [11], communications across water-air interface have also been demonstrated. By sending acoustic waves underwater (which travel as pressure waves), inducing the displacement of the water surface, and using RF or optical beams to detect the displacement, the MIT Media Lab [10] and U.S. Navy [11] demonstrated such across-water-air interface communication. However, because the displacements of the water surface induced by the acoustics are usually on the order of ~μm [10], airborne platforms need to be very close to the water surface to detect such tiny surface displacements, and such a system requires strict alignment between the transmitter and receiver along a vertical axis.…”

We experimentally demonstrated high-speed diffuse line-of-sight optical wireless communication across a wavy water-air-interface. The testbed channel was evaluated, in terms of data rate, coverage and robustness to the dynamic wave movement, based on the performance of different modulation schemes, including non-return-to-zero on-off keying (NRZ-OOK) and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM)-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). Under the emulated calm water condition, 8-QAM-OFDM offers a data rate of 111.4 Mbit/s at the aligned position, while only 55 Mbit/s is achieved using NRZ-OOK. On the other hand, effective communication can still be maintained at a high data rate of 11 Mbit/s when the photodetector is off aligned laterally by 5 cm based on NRZ-OOK modulation, leading to a coverage of ~79 cm 2 . By utilizing OFDM modulation scheme, a data rate of 30 Mbit/s can be achieved up to 2.5-cm misalignment, leading to a coverage of ~20 cm 2 . Furthermore, in the presence of strong waves (15-mm wave height, causing a scintillation index of 0.667), 4-QAM-OFDM modulation showed a better resilience to channel instability than NRZ-OOK modulation. Our studies pave the way for the eventual realization of communication across a challenging water-air interface without the need for an interface relay, which is much soughtafter for implementing a robust and large-coverage underwater-to-terrestrial internet-of-things.
