Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in the agricultural domain tend to increase with the implementation of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and the adoption of 5G networks. Although several works study those subjects, only few focus specifically on animal production, a sector of the agricultural domain with specific requirements. In this work, the requirements for the implementation of WSNs in cattle weighing in the farm are gathered, a system is proposed to address those requirements, and it is evaluated using different routing strategies. The scenarios evaluated were: (i) use of the Collection Tree Protocol (CTP); use of the IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-power and lossy networks (RPL); and (iii) use of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) technology. Although the packet delivery rate was similar among the scenarios, the last one provided the lower latency, with an improvement of 48% compared to scenario (ii) and 58% compared to scenario (i). The use of SDN resulted in a considerable improvement in latency, which is essential for this domain. The main implications of these results are discussed and their main limitations along with future works that could improve and expand on them.
