    1. THE PLATFORMS ENABLING WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

COTS Dust (https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~pister/publications/dissertations/hollar ms 2000.pdf) in 2000 → the following comparison is specifically important with respect to RFIDs

  1. “Smart Dust Capabilities
    For this research, I assumed Smart Dust would have specific capabilities. Namely, Smart Dust would have four basic components:

    1. Power. In order to monitor an environment for any length of time, the dust particle must have enough energy to survive anywhere from a few hours to months at a time.

    2. Computation. Since the dust particle is expected to communicate and process sensor data, the dust particles must have computational requirements ranging anywhere from an 8 bit micro controller to a full blown 32 bit microprocessor.

    3. Sensors. The interface between the environment and the dust particle is the sensor. The dust particles should have basic environmental sensors which may include temperature, pressure, humidity, light, sound, acceleration, magnetic fields.

    4. Communication. Communication must be possible in standard outside environments. Dust particles must have the ability to communicate with one another at ranges from a few meters to kilometers.”
