The system design and implementation focus on reducing the power consumption at three levels: hardware, software and data transmission. The reduction in power consumption, at hardware level in particular, is mainly achieved through the introduction of an energy-aware interface (EAI) that ensures a smart inter-correlated management of the energy flow. The resulted system satisfies the requirements of a wireless sensor structure that possesses the energy autonomous capability. %K Energy harvesting %K low power consumption %K wireless sensor communication system %U http://journal.telfor.rs/Published/Vol4No2/Vol4No2_A3.pdf
