 INTRODUCTION
 A wireless sensor network is a collection of
wireless sensors covering a small area.
 Every sensor performs independent sensing
processing and transmission of data over
wireless link with minimum power consumption.
 These include low-energy signaling and
networking

 SENSOR NODE

 A sensor node, also known as a ‘mote‘

 It is a node in a wireless sensor network that is
capable of performing some processing,
gathering sensory information and
communication with gateway sensor node

 POWER AWARENESS FROM
RADIO HARDWARE
 The functionality of both transmitter and receiver are
combined into a single device know as transceiver are
used in sensor nodes.
 The operational states are transmit ,receive , idle and
sleep
 Low Voltage Operation
 1.8V minimum supply
