The design of sustainable wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a very challenging issue. On the one hand, energyconstrained sensors are expected to run autonomously for long periods. However, it may be cost-prohibitive to replace exhausted batteries or even impossible in hostile environments. On the other hand, unlike other networks, WSNs are designed for specific applications which range from small-size healthcare surveillance systems to large-scale environmental monitoring. Thus, any WSN deployment has to satisfy a set of requirements that differs from one application to another. In this context, a host of research work has been conducted in order to propose a wide range of solutions to the energysaving problem. This research covers several areas going from physical layer optimization to network layer solutions. Therefore, it is not easy for the WSN designer to select the efficient solutions that should be considered in the design of application-specific WSN architecture.We present a top-down survey of the trade-offs between application requirements and lifetime extension that arise when designing wireless sensor networks. We first identify the main categories of applications and their specific requirements. Then we present a new classification of energy-conservation schemes found in the recent literature, followed by a systematic discussion as to how these schemes conflict with the specific requirements. Finally, we survey the techniques applied in WSNs to achieve trade-off between multiple requirements, such as multi-objective optimisation.

The aquaculture industry is developing on a large-scale. Now most aquaculture households use the artificial way of water quality diagnosis, decision-making and adjustment, the data cannot accurately reflect the water quality status. The data acquisition node used distributed self-organizing network structure, it accomplished the detection of water temperature, pH value, dissolved oxygen, conductivity and other water quality parameters. ZigBee wireless communication module was used to the data exchange between the data acquisition node and router node, router node and coordinator node medium. The synchronization of the whole network node to sleep and wake up was realized using the time synchronization algorithm, it greatly reduced the system power consumption. The system was tested in Sanya university natural lake, it can realize the monitoring function of aquaculture water quality parameters, all-weather real-time transmission of information and automatic regulating or remote manual adjustment according to the preset dissolved oxygen content.

“…Researchers in (Huircan et al, 2010), developed a cattle localization and monitoring system based on ZigBee protocol using Link Quality Indicator (LQI) coupled with a modified Ratio metric vector Iterations (RVI) routing algorithm for ranging or distance calculation. An estimation and localization algorithm is used as opposed to a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) which is a more precise method but expensive for livestock applications.…”

“…The projected increase of Photovoltaic (PV) applications and advances in thin-film solar cells technology provides many opportunities for application of solar on wearable devices and in small surface areas (Jager et al, 2014). A lot of research has been done on application of PV technology on WSN and on the application of WSN to tracking (Raizma et al, 2013), (Foulkes et al, 2013), (Huircan et al, 2010), (Kwong et al, 2012), (Nagl et al, 2003), (Choi et al, 2013). Due to the explosion of IoT research and smart technologies, WSN applications have increased significantly.…”

Smart technology and Internet of Things (IoT) applications have gained popularity in the development of agricultural systems with Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) increasingly becoming the building blocks for IoT applications. However, WSNs have a limited power supply. As a result, these systems have a short lifespan, limited memory and low computing power. This paper describes the development of a hybrid power module for WSN to be utilized in a livestock tracking and identification system. Mathematical and MATLAB-Simulink models are developed and used to simulate the characteristics of a lithium ion (Liion) battery; to power the mobile sensor node (eartag), a nickel metal hydrate (NimH) battery used to power the static sensor nodes, a solar cell and the hybrid power module. Simulation results show that individually, the power sources provide limited power but the hybrid system coupled with a switching block generates enough power for the system, this implies that the system is viable but a prolonged operation of the system will depend on the battery limitations and climatic conditions. Future work will focus on the development of a prototype that can be tested and validated in real environment.
