Wireless Sensing: What Simplicity Has to Offer?

Abstract

We argue that, a wireless sensor does not have to implement a full networking stack in order to be a part of an energy efficient sensing application as long as it can deliver its sensed data to an Internet connected device over a single hop. Current hardware industry trends indicate the possibility of implementing wireless sensors for a low cost with simple capabilities. This poster highlights our preliminary work aligned with this trend and aims to open a discussion on this topic.
