Impact of Energy Models on Energy Efficient Sensor Network Routing.

, and . Technical Report, 415. Department of Computer Science, (April 2007)

Abstract

Models and proposals to capture the energy consumption of sensor nodes are plentiful. Even if the majority of the various energy consumption models roughly agree about the energy consumed in the different states of the sensor node duty cycle, different approaches for abstracting the costs of radio operations exist. In our work, we investigate which factors are crucial for the modeling of transmission costs by establishing a general framework whose modular structure allows to compare existing abstractions. We analyze the impact of typical assumptions when they influence the creation of energy efficient routing topologies. We compare the resulting routing trees not only by topological characteristics, but also by estimating radio related energy consumptions, a metric which changes strongly with the MAC layer efficiency.
