PicoRadio, TCI, and Protocol Design

1
PicoRadio,TCI, and Protocol Design

• Tutorial Overview Session

2
PicoRadio Charter

• Develop meso-scale radios for ubiquitous
  wireless data acquisition that minimize
  power/energy dissipation
• Minimize energy (lt10 pJ/(correct) bit) for
  energy-limited source
• Minimize power (lt 1 mW) for power-limited source
  (e.g. based on energy scavenging)
• By using the following strategies
• self-configuring networks
• fluid trade-off between communication and
  computation
• aggressive low-energy architectures and circuits
