چکیده

A duty-cycled PLL operating in burst mode is presented. It is an essential building block of a moderately accurate low-power frequency synthesizer suitable for use in nodes for Wireless Sensor Networks. Once in lock, the PLL’s frequency error is less than 0.1% (rms). Fabricated in a baseline 65 nm CMOS process, the PLL occupies 0.19X0.15 mm and draws 200 μA from a 1.3-V supply when generating a 1 GHz signal with a duty cycle of 10%.

Duty-Cycled PLL for Wireless Sensor Nodes in 65nm CMOS

The design of a Duty-Cycled PLL (DCPLL) capable of burst mode operation is presented. The proposed DCPLL is a moderately-accurate low-power high-frequency synthesizer suitable for use in nodes for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) applications. Thanks to a dual loop configuration the PLL’s total frequency error, once in lock, is less than 0.25% from 300 MHz to 1.2 GHz. It employs a fast start-up D...

A JOINT DUTY CYCLE SCHEDULING AND ENERGY AWARE ROUTING APPROACH BASED ON EVOLUTIONARY GAME FOR WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

Network throughput and energy conservation are two conflicting important performance metrics for wireless sensor networks. Since these two objectives are in conflict with each other, it is difficult to achieve them simultaneously. In this paper, a joint duty cycle scheduling and energy aware routing approach is proposed based on evolutionary game theory which is called DREG. Making a trade-off ...

Opportunistic Routing in Low Duty-Cycled Wireless Sensor Networks

Opportunistic routing is widely known to have substantially better performance than unicast routing in wireless networks with lossy links. However, wireless sensor networks are heavily duty-cycled, i.e. they frequently enter sleep states to ensure long network life-time. This renders existing opportunistic routing schemes impractical, as they assume that nodes are always awake and can overhear ...
