Towards an Autonomous, Power-Efficient Base Station for Sensor Data Collection

For a bio-monitoring project called AMMOD, we have to design an autonomous station powered by solar panels that gathers samples from sensors in remote places and transmit them to the cloud. In this paper, we give a brief overview of our research on designing an autonomous, self-managing base station to operate heterogeneous sensors and manage their data in a power-efficient and self-sustained way.
