  • Abstract
    This paper identifies the major challenges faced in designing energy efficient wireless sensor networks. It was shown that energy optimization must be done at all levels including network, sensor node, and powering methods. A specific procedure for designing free space optics remote powering was described and the use of free space optics in wireless sensor network communication has been investigated.
