Abstract

Edge intelligence can reduce power dissipation to enable power-hungry long-range wireless applications. This work applies edge intelligence to quantify the reduction in power dissipation. We designed a wireless sensor node with a LoRa radio and implemented a decision tree classifier, in situ, to classify behaviors of cattle. We estimate that employing edge intelligence on our wireless sensor node reduces its average power dissipation by up to a factor of 50, from 20.10 mW to 0.41 mW. We also observe that edge intelligence increases the link budget without significantly affecting average power dissipation.
