Abstract
This paper presents a novel architecture and its
implementation for a versatile, miniaturised mote which
can communicate concurrently using a variety of
combinations of ISM bands, has increased processing
capability, and interoperability with mainstream GSM
technology. All these features are integrated in a small
form factor platform. The platform can have many
configurations which could satisfy a variety of
applications’ constraints. To the best of our knowledge, it
is the first integrated platform of this type reported in the literature. The proposed platform opens the way for
enhanced levels of Quality of Service (QoS), with respect to
reliability, availability and latency, in addition to
facilitating interoperability and power reduction
compared to existing platforms. The small form factor also
allows potential of integration with other mobile platforms
including smart phones
