Abstract :
In this paper, we describe the main capabilities for the third generation of the sensor nodes. The challenges for implementing such nodes is focused on providing the hardware design reconfiguration at minimum power consumption and developing the components library that can be used to develop sensor nodes at short period of time. The impact of using third generation nodes on network level evaluation and next-generation applications is also discussed in this work.
