一个异构网络，主要是基于使用收获的能量自我激励的节点，并展示了它的使用。该网络主要是动力驱动的，已被用于在极端气候条件下放牧地区的牛群定位。网络由主节点和次节点组成。前者由动力发生器提供动力，利用动物的运动来广播唯一的标识符。后者是电池供电的，并收集次级节点发送的信息，以将其与位置和时间数据一起沿着提供给负责动物监测的最终基站。由于有限的人类交互是可取的，这个网络的目的是减少系统的电池数量。
A heterogeneous network, mainly based on nodes that use harvested energy to self-energize, is presented, and its use is demonstrated. The network, mostly kinetically powered, has been used for the localization of herds in grazing areas under extreme climate conditions. The network consists of secondary and primary nodes. The former, powered by a kinetic generator, take advantage of animal movements to broadcast a unique identifier. The latter are battery-powered and gather secondary-node-transmitted information to provide it, along with position and time data, to a final base station in charge of the animal monitoring. Because a limited human interaction is desirable, the aim of this network is to reduce the battery count of the system.
