Abstract
Energy consumption is the main concern in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A node’s life is prolonged by reducing idle listening and packet overhearing. The energy consumption poses a problem to the life span of a wireless node. A duty cycle approach reduces energy consumption of a node but increases latency of data delivery. The delay the node needs until it switch from receiving mode into transmitting mode can be solved through the use of wake-up receiver, where the node reacts only when it’s woken up. This process eliminates the time spent waiting the
transmission slot assigned through the scheduling procedure. In this paper, we present the wakeup radio transceiver and analyze the time demand of the wake-up system.
