Abstract :
We present a SoC architecture of a wireless sensor network node for the zigbee protocol which can both serve as an independent chip or also be incorporated as a component of a larger system. We describe the attributes that a design must possess in order to function effectively in a densely populated sensor network and then discuss the proposed architecture design adhering to these attributes. We draw comparisons between proposed architecture and some already existing ones and finally highlight the advantages of using the proposed SoC design.
