Abstract:

In this talk I will motivate the need for ultra low power network protocols in wireless sensor networks through an environmental monitoring application we have developed. I will then present, Koala, a reliable data retrieval system designed to operate at permille (.1%) duty cycles which are essential for long term environmental monitoring networks. I will also present, Typhoon, an epidemic routing protocol designed to reliably propagate large objects to the whole network. Finally, I will argue how techniques developed for these protocols can be broadly applied in WSNs.
