Miniature and Low-Power Wireless Sensor Node Platform: State of the Art and Current Trends
Abstract
Wireless sensor node is an autonomous and compact device that has capability to monitor a variety of real-world phenomena. It is designed composed of sensing device, embedded processor, communication module, and power equipment. Wireless sensor node is part of wireless sensor network where hundred or thousand sensor node can be deployed. Over the past decade Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have emerged as one of the computing platforms of note within the electronics community. In prediction, there will be more than 127 million wireless sensor nodes deployed worldwide by 2014. We have surveyed 100 currently available wireless sensor network node platforms have been developed and produced not only by the research institutions, the universities but also some companies in last ten years. In this paper, we present a review of 27 different wireless sensor node platforms. We review these devices under a number of different parameters, and we highlight the key advantages of each node platform according to dimension and power consumption. We also discuss the characteristics and trend of development and deployment a wireless sensor node technology.
