Such a microsensor network has many interesting applications ranging from in vivo medical sensing to environmental monitoring. However, the design and operation of the envisioned type of network are challenging: the large number of nodes, in combination with the small form factor, imposes severe constraints on both node complexity as well as power consumption. We propose using inductive near-field coupling as advantageous physical layer choice, allowing an RFID-like operation of the network with wireless power supply from central reader devices and low-complexity tag design. Our primary goals for inductively coupled microsensors are twofold: we want to enable reliable communication to and between sensor nodes, and perform accurate localization of individual sensors. Both tasks are affected by the central limitation of a physical layer based on near-field coupling: the severely limited range of interaction. We will show throughout this thesis that the use of wireless relaying allows for overcoming this limitation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Nathan Slottke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3832544380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783832544386\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Logos Verlag Berlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Eric Nathan Slottke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450137293055,"sku":"9783832544386","price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bd1d1368-7ecc-4171-922c-2b3466792e25.jpg?v=1777266371","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/inductively-coupled-microsensor-networks-eric-nathan-slottke-9783832544386","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
