WAY TO COMMUNICATE
Device around the size of a grain of sand. A self-contained, millimeter-scale sensing and communication platform for a massively distributed sensor network. Each wireless sensor node, or dust mote, contains one or more sensors, hardware for computation and communication, and a power supply. Motes -autonomous, programmable
Sensors To Interface to the environment Light, Temperature, Vibration, Magnetic field, Acoustic Power Survive for extended amount of time Thick-film battery, Solar cell with capacitor, or both Computation Process sensor data and Communicate using IC Communication To glue the pieces of information Transmission: Optical-Passive and Active Reception: Photodiode

Acoustic Communication
RF Communication
Pros Does not require line of sight Not much affected by the environment Cons Antenna size (has to be at least of the wavelength) Complex circuitry (modulation/demodulation, band pass filters, etc.) Energy consumption (approx. 100nJ/bit)

OPTICAL Communication
Types Passive Active Pros Low energy consumption (<1nJ/bit) High data rates Small aperture, very directional (localization) Cons Very directional Line of sight Atmospheric turbulence, weather and environmental conditions dependent

Dust mote does not require an onboard light source. Passive reflective device, called Corner Cube Reflector, can either reflect or not reflect light to a remote source. CCR consists of three mutually orthogonal mirrors. Light enters the CCR, bounces off each of the three mirrors, and is reflected back parallel to the direction it entered.

0-1 TRANSITION
One mirror mounted on a spring at an angle slightly askew from perpendicularity to the other mirrors. In this position, because the light entering the CCR does not return along the same entry path, little light returns to the sourceDIGITAL 0. Applying voltage between this mirror and an electrode beneath it causes the mirror to shift to a position perpendicular to other mirrors, causing the light entering the CCR to return to its sourceDIGITAL 1.
1-0 TRANSITION
Practically free
Dumping the charge stored on the electrode to the ground requires almost no energy.

Dust motes active; they have their own onboard light source For mote-to-mote communication system, onboard light source sends tightly collimated light beam toward intended receiver. The steered agile laser transmitter (SALT) consists of a semiconductor diode laser coupled with a collimating lens and a steering mirror.
