Hardware Assisted Compression in Wireless Sensor Networks

Category: Software and Web Development, Security, Networking and Communications

Overview A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is comprised of resource constained devices called motes. Motes are battery operated and must conserve as much power as possible. Power usage for each mote is made up of processing data, sensing the surroundings, and sending and receiving packets. The bulk of power usage for standard WSN applications lies in the radio where receiving and sending packets are necessary to communicate to a base station (as much as 80%). This communication is generally greater than the range of any single mote, and thus multi-hop routing must take place. The multi-hop routing furthers the need for reduction of packets because each additional hop adds to the amount of traffic generated.
