Wireless sensor nodes consume lots of energy during communication but huge power consumption has been observed during active listening in idle mode as source nodes can start data transmission at any time. Power saving can be achieved by establishing synchronization among end nodes. Many rendezvous solutions are available and out of which wake up receiver found extremely adroit. A non volatile wake up transceiver has been proposed in the present paper that works on the basis of ID matching. State of art using 4GB of memory to remember states of sensor nodes while proposed technique used only 60 bits of memory with very less false alarm probability. Power consumption for proposed model is only 59.47 nW. Hence this model is quite effective in terms of power consumption and memory usage as compared to trailing models.

A Wireless Sensor Network is composed of sensor nodes powered by batteries. Thus, power consumption is the major challenge. In spite of so many research works discussing this issue from the aspects of network optimization and system design, so far not so many focus on optimizing power consumption of the Radio Frequency device, which consumes most of the energy. This paper describes the digital features of the Radio Frequency device used to optimize current consumption, and presents a practical approach to measure current consumption in static and dynamic scenarios in details, by which we evaluates the power saving effect. The results demonstrated that according to cycle times and application characteristics choosing appropriate features can prolong the lifetime of wireless sensor nodes.
