Abstract
The livestock breeding performance is becoming significant due to the global challenges of protein sources against the dramatic increase of world population that reaches 8 billion. Digitalization of livestock management technique could be the clue to increase productivity and improve operational efficiency. It could be done through control of losses and realization of models relating the productivity rates versus operational parameters counting on big volume of data being collected as a result of digitalization process. In fact, the adoption of IoT technology in livestock environments is usually challenged by energy problems and power efficient communication technologies. Therefore, a modified AODV protocol is proposed to enhance the traditional AODV protocol used in MANET networks that was mainly concerned with optimal route selection based on shortest path to send the data packets through it. The proposed algorithm models and simulates operational parameters of intermediate nodes as a factor to decide on the optimal path selection in IoT based MANET networks in addition to the shortest path that leads to transmission power gain of the source node. The results show a significant power performance enhancement compared to the traditional AODV protocol.
