Modeling and Testing Power Consumption Rate of Low-Power Wi-Fi Sensor Motes for Smart Building Applications

摘要

Power consumption is the major concern in the development of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications, especially in smart building applications. Therefore, many techniques have been proposed to investigate the power consumption of these types of applications. These techniques can estimate lifetime of network, thereby providing some recommendations for developers in optimizing the energy consumption. This paper presents an approach for assess power consumption of WSN with low-power sensor Wi-Fi motes by using simulation models. Starting from propose a new power consumption model of sensor motes, due to have been implemented this model in Network Simulation 2 (NS-2) for testing and evaluation, used GNU plot and Trace Graph tool for plot the graphs for NS-2. Consequently, we can show results, compare its in detail.
