This thesis focuses on energy efficiency of particular aspects of data processing on wireless sensor nodes and deals with methods aiming to decrease energy consumption of wireless sensor network (WSN) applications requiring high processing power. The work presents comprehensive analysis of mesh protocols and available hardware platforms in terms of energy efficiency. A new energy efficient sensor node with high processing capability is presented and utilized to evaluate the proposed system for autonomous data transmission in WSN. Finally, an implementation of real-time operation system supporting mesh communication and very strict energy requirements through energy profiles is also presented. A valuable finding is that further increase of energy efficiency is only possible through a holistic approach in software and hardware architecture design, so that hardware and software/ firmware are tightly coupled. The output of this research might be applied in industry or academy field without necessity of any change or prior knowledge of WSN. The autonomous system of data transmission opens new research possibilities to decrease energy requirements of WNS.
