Abstract / truncated to 115 words (read the full abstract)

Wireless sensor networks consist in a collection of battery-powered sensors able to gather, process and send data. They are typically used to monitor various phenomenons, in a plethora of fields, from environmental studies to smart logistics. Their wireless connectivity and relatively small size allow them to be deployed practically anywhere, even underwater or embedded in everyday clothing, and possibly capture data over a large area for extended periods of time. Their usefulness is therefore tied to their ability to work autonomously, with as little human intervention as possible. This functional requirement directly translates into two design constraints: (i) bandwidth and on-board compute must be used sparingly, in order to extend battery-life as much as possible, ... toggle 6 keywords
