A hybrid network of autonomous sensor nodes

A robust hybrid intelligent system architecture is being proposed. This communication discusses the prospect of using NMRC's 25mm wireless sensor node in conjunction with other sensor motes. The NMRC node is the Institute's specification for future autonomous transducer nodes in ubiquitous computational networks that will drive the vision of Ambient Intelligence (AmI). A comparative study among different motes with NMRC's node has been performed in order to define a hybrid autonomous sensor network that includes all of them. The main points to differentiate between the NMRC modules and the others are reconfigurability of the module, dense interconnectivity between layers and intensive signal processing capability.
