Energy Consumption Model for Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

With the energy consumption, the new route may be reconstructed with energy sufficient nodes. In order to evaluate energy of nodes, an energy consumption model was raised to calculate node energy in wireless sensor networks. The model of nodes was setup in data structure, the energy consumption model was setup in the rule of energy consumption and the wireless radio model of wireless sensor networks was setup in the rule of wireless radio. The simulation algorithm was designed and realized. The result shows that the model can simulate energy consumption for wireless sensor networks which is helpful for route algorithm.
