Outline of Final Research Achievements

The experimental results on the prototype system show that our sensor node can wake up from the suspended animation mode with zero standby power with about 80 ms delay. This delay is neglectable for many WSN applications. We have extended the conventional estimation method of the battery life to our proposal. By using this equation, we have confirmed that our proposal can improve the battery life of 6 to 100 times compared with the conventional node. Two case studies indicate that our proposed senor node can realize actual WSN applications.
