Ultra-Low Power IoT Solution based on WSSN for Monitoring Infrastructures
Abstract
Luis Miguel Pires
In recent years, one of the emerging technologies that have had big impact on the field of research is Wireless Smart Sensors Networks (WSSN) given its diversity of features and applications. The accelerating growth in IoT for data communication, for sensing and monitoring applications (ranging from biomedical to environmental targets) has originated a high demand not only for low-power autonomous devices but also for ultra- low cost combining single chip radio with baseband signal and digital data processing [1]. Target applications, such as Smart Grids, Cyber-Physical Systems, Body Area Networks, Internet of Things (IoT) and high-density environmental sensing networks, will be massively available if it is removed the requirement of explicit human action for energy recharge. A third concern for the deployment of large numbers wireless sensor networks is the cost of each individual remote device.
