Publisher's Synopsis
Smart homes and workplaces can aid people in living and working more comfortably with WSNs. Sensors, microcontroller, radio, and antenna are used in these applications to regularly detect, data from a dispersed network of low-power, low-cost, highly energy-efficient electronic platforms to a distant host station for pre-processing and transmission.
Users can benefit from supported living and working environments provided by smart homes/offices based on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The dispersed network nodes in these applications are low-power, low-cost, high-energy-efficient electronic platforms containing sensors, microcontrollers, radios, and antennas that can sense, receive, store, pre-process, and broadcast environmental data to a remote host station on a regular basis.
To address future Internet-of-things (IoT) application requirements, an integrated photovoltaic panel with a rechargeable battery and a power-efficient architecture is provided, which necessitates a large number of interconnected wireless networks being designed and implemented to be energetically self-sufficient.
