Abstract :
For the past decade, there has been rapid development and advancement in the communication and sensor technologies that result in the growth of a new, attractive and challenging research area. In the other side, Wireless Sensor Network complexity applications have grown permanently, this rapid growth compared to the internal logical architecture of sensor node has increased the gap between sensor network and its applications. Sensor node always has preserved the same set of calculation logic regardless of application evolution. Developed applications such as video surveillance, intelligence, reconnaissance and applications emulating eyes found in robots are very hungry applications for intensive data and massive computing. Not only will it be necessary for nodes to process information, but they will have to react flexibly and act quickly when tasks become important. A fixed way of information processing is insufficient. There is no doubt that using a sophisticated solution to meet the critical needs of this type of application is very interesting to close the gap and will introduce a new challenge in the intensive data processing in sensor networks. In this paper we propose a novel architecture for intelligent sensor node based on multiprocessors engine enclosing a dedicated communication mechanism that´s called network on-chip (NoC).
