ABSTRACT
As a consequence of the internet-of-things revolution, the number of connected devices worldwide is expected to increase to 50–200 billion. To maintain such a large network, there is a need for wireless sensors with dimensions and power consumption that are orders of magnitude smaller than the state-of-the-art. Energy is the key challenge. Batteries have limited capacity, and existing sensors are not “smart” enough to identify targets of interest. Therefore, they consume power continuously to monitor the environment, even when there is no relevant data to be detected.
