Enabling Localization in WSNs with Solar-Powered End Devices

摘要

A novel remote localization system utilizing renewable solar energy to power and trigger communication between end devices and a wireless network is presented. The novelty of the system is the unique node design that allows for battery less operation using ambient solar energy. Hardware and software design considerations involved in making the localization system operational inspite of the limitations of solar power are outlined. The final functioning localization system results as an end application are presented. A remote localization system with very good accuracy utilizing this end node communicating with a WSN is showcased as an end application with tremendous potential
