Abstract
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are fast becoming extremely popular with usage in a variety of applications starting from mobile communication to home security. One of the main constraints faced during the design of the wireless radio sensors is power consumption. Most of the sensors are battery operated and many of them cannot operate without power for over a day. Transceiver is one of the main power guzzlers. Several techniques are used for reducing the transceiver power consumption in order to increase the battery life of the unit. Wake up radio receivers are offering a new way of operating the WSNs.
