This study evaluated the design of an energy-efficient ad-hoc network used for wildlife observations, particularly in order to understand the social relationships in an animal group, where the distance between individuals, i.e., proximity, can be used to measure a relationship. Our proposed network consists of a full mesh topology and contains nodes that communicate via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) in advertisement mode. The initial hardware configuration and software algorithm duty cycles the BLE communication to on and off states using a parameter called the BLE active triggering interval. The algorithm is improved by placing the BLE subsystem and CPU in deep sleep when there are no BLE or CPU tasks to process. This improves the power performance by up to 94.48%. To scale up power optimization and track the trade-off between power and throughput, we created a simulator that modeled our network with dynamic wireless sensor nodes. The simulator verified the base case hardware results. It also showed a median power performance increase of 97.79% in comparison to the base case, yet throughput decreased by 66.65%. The highest power performance increased by 98.89% when a wireless sensor node was configured with a BLE active triggering interval of 50 s and its CPU was set to 14 MHz; however, the simulator showed a throughput drop of 79.97%. Depending on the application, a design may tolerate the decline in throughput to achieve higher power performance.

“…Web frameworks (website, databases) [97], [98] have been used for collaborative aquatic animal tracking. A wildlife monitoring and communication system [99] was a part of an innovative proposal for the tracking and recognition of wild animals. An integrated video and sensor system [100] was mounted directly on the animal to record all what deers see.…”

Smart Computing and Sensing Technologies for Animal Welfare

Animals play a profoundly important and intricate role in our lives today. Dogs have been human companions for thousands of years, but they now work closely with us to assist the disabled, and in combat and search and rescue situations. Farm animals are a critical part of the global food supply chain, and there is increasing consumer interest in organically fed and humanely raised livestock, and how it impacts our health and environmental footprint. Wild animals are threatened with extinction by human induced factors, and shrinking and compromised habitat. This review sets the goal to systematically survey the existing literature in smart computing and sensing technologies for domestic, farm and wild animal welfare. We use the notion of animal welfare in broad terms, to review the technologies for assessing whether animals are healthy, free of pain and suffering, and also positively stimulated in their environment. Also the notion of smart computing and sensing is used in broad terms, to refer to computing and sensing systems that are not isolated but interconnected with communication networks, and capable of remote data collection, processing, exchange and analysis. We review smart technologies for domestic animals, indoor and outdoor animal farming, as well as animals in the wild and zoos. The findings of this review are expected to motivate future research and contribute to data, information and communication management as well as policy for animal welfare.
