Abstract :
We present a low cost wireless microsensor node architecture for distributed computation and sensing in massively distributed embedded systems. Our design focuses on the development of a versatile, low power device to facilitate experimentation and initial deployment of wireless microsensor nodes in deeply embedded systems. This paper provides the details of our architecture and introduces fine-grained node localization as an example application of distributed computation and wireless embedded sensing.
