Abstract: In precision agriculture application,sensor nodes are required to keep working for months,involving in more severe challenges for the power management of the energy-limited wireless sensor networks.Wireless sensor networks’ power management is a complex research area referring to hardware,OS and application software.It needs to coordinate all the network layers’ operation.This paper focuses on the node level power management,introduces the relative research on sensor node power management and the dynamic power management strategy in TinyOS,designs a CPU duty cycle analysis mechanism for solar greenhouse application named CPUSA,providing basis for further power management optimization.Oscilloscope is used to acquire the CPU status wave to verify the veracity of the analysis method.The relative analysis on the result of the two methods shows that the method works perfectly.
