Presentation Summary

  • The talk introduces the general sensor node architecture and two types of wireless sensor node design approaches first.
  • Then several design guidelines are given with the emphases on the selection of microcontroller, communication device, sensors, and power supply. A wireless node with temperature and carbon monoxide (CO) sensors are illustrated as an example.
  • At the end enlarging the lifetime of sensor nodes, the biggest challenge in the hardware design for WSNs, is addressed from two aspects - power management, i.e. reducing the power consumption, and energy scavenging.
