Low power radio communication platform for wireless sensor network

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks are predicted to be the most versatile, popular and useful technology in the near future. A large number of applications are targeted which will hugely benefit from a network of tiny computers with few sensors, radio communication platform, intelligent networking and controller programs. Few of these applications which look very attractive at this point of time are medical (such as patient monitoring), structure monitoring (such as bridges, coal mine), logistics and transport, control and rescue operation in natural hazards (like firefighters), building management (security, temperature control), wild life/ ocean life monitoring, traffic control, area monitoring, intruder tracking etc
