Network Lifetime Management in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

The energy consumption in wireless sensor networks stills a very interesting challenge in both industrial and research field. The IEEE 802.15.4 standard is an excellent result of the collaboration between these both fields in order to well managing the energy consumed in the node by controlling its duty cycle. It presents the most efficient standards for low energy consumption that is why it is considered as the main technology for the Internet of Thing. This paper consists mainly of validating through an experimental test bed, the two proposed methods. The first approach proposed is about computing the energy consumed by the node in its different transmission states with more efficiency. Although the second approach deals with computing, it is most convenable duty cycle basing on the remaining energy in the battery of the node which presents a very interesting issue for the energy consumption in wireless communication.
