Abstract :
A dynamically reconfigurable architecture tailored for low power wireless sensor networks is introduced in this work. Using resource sharing and frequent reconfiguration, the power consumption of the hardware is kept low while data processing is still efficient. Remote reconfiguration becomes also possible with very low overhead.
