Abstract—Battery powered wireless sensor networks (WSN) have as main constraint the energy available. The hardware project have to take as objective the power consumption minimization during idle-sleeping sensor states. The software power control and the communication stack implementations have a heavy impact on device power requirement so a carefully design is able to assure longer network lifetime. In this paper we address the implementation aspects of a WSN geographical routing algorithm [1] in order to investigate the real performances obtainable on a commercially available platform. Some changes to original design are proposed so as to overcame the problems introduced by sensor devices hardware and operating system limits. A detailed description of protocol realization is reported and energy measures are made on the devices to characterize the power requirement of the algorithm.
