Efficient Energy Management in Mobile MIMO Cooperative Sensor Networks (M-MCSN)

Abstract

One of the most important issues in Wireless Sensor Nodes (WSN) is the proper utilization of the energy and reduction in its consumption. Energy consumption in a node takes place at places: (I) circuit level for processing the data and performing some actions, (II) power consumption during transmission. For our model we have considered both the parameter into a simplified equation. We considered various WSN systems consisting different no of sensor nodes and with different topologies are also selected for our simulation purpose. We found that operating the WSN in a Multi input Multi output (MIMO) manner we can reduce the overall energy of the system. Parameters like first packet send, last packet send, and total bytes send, first packet received, total packet received are compared and analyzed.
