| Summary: | In this paper, we evaluated several network routing energy models for smart farm application with consideration of several
factors, such as mobility, traffic size and node size using wireless ZigBee technology. The energy models considered are generic,
MICA and Zigbee compliant MICAz models. Wireless sensor networks deployment under several scenarios are considered in
this paper, taken into account commercial farm specification with varying complex network deployment circumstances to
further understand the energy constraint and requirement of the smart farm application. Several performance indicators,
such as packet delivery ratio, throughput, jitter and the energy consumption are evaluated and analysed. The simulation
result shows that both throughput and packet delivery ratio increases as the nodes density is increased, indicating that, smart
farm network with higher nodes density have a superior Quality of Service (QoS) than networks with sparsely deployed
nodes. It is also revealed that traffic from the mobile nodes causes increase in the energy consumption, overall network
throughput, average end-to-end delay and average jitter, compared to static nodes traffic. Based on the results obtained,
the Generic radio energy models consumed the highest total energy, while MICAz energy consumption model offers the least
consumption, having the lowest ‘Idle’ and ‘receive’ modes consumption. The MICAz model also has the lowest total consumed
energy as compared with the other energy models, suggesting that it is the most suitable energy model that should be adopted
for future smart farm deployment. |
