Everlasting sensor networks

Within the team CSAM (Circuits, Systemes et Applications des Microondes) of IEMN (Institut d'Electronique, de Microelectronique et de Nanotechnologie) and within IRCICA (Institut de Recherche sur les Composants logiciels et materiels pour l'Information et la Communication Avancee - USR CNRS 3080) we develop a research on ultra low power sensor networks. Our goal is to minimize the energy consumption so that the life duration of the network could be infinitely long. We develop studies including nanotechnologies (energy harvesting, storage devices), RF front-ends design, energy management but also radio channel and interference modeling and MAC layer optimization.
