We consider radio applications in sensor networks, where the nodes operate on batteries so that energy consumption must be minimized, while satisfying given throughput and delay requirements. In this context, we analyze the best modulation and transmission strategy to minimize the total energy consumption required to send a given number of bits. The total energy consumption includes both the transmission energy and the circuit energy consumption. We first consider multi-input-multi-output (MIMO…

This paper proposes an Energy Saving MAC protocol in MIMO (ESMACM) systems by focusing on energy efficiency instead of capacity maximization, and finds that the capacity maximizing communication gives a different solution from the energy minimizing communication.

Energy-efficiency and transmission strategy selection in cooperative wireless sensor networks

Analysis in the wideband regime reveals that, while receive diversity introduces significant improvement in both energy efficiency and spectral efficiency, further improvement due to the transmit diversity of STBC is limited, as opposed to the superiority of the SM scheme especially for non-trivial spectral efficiency.

Energy-efficient protocols for wireless networks with adaptive MIMO capabilities

This paper proposes a power-controlled channel access protocol for MIMO-capable wireless LANs with two antennas per node, called E-BASIC, which extends the classic CSMA/CA access scheme by allowing for dynamic adjustment of the transmission mode and the transmission power on a per-packet basis so as to minimize the total energy consumption.

Energy efficiency of cooperative strategies in wireless sensor networks

It is shown that despite using more time slots, MFCR has the best BER performance and the longest transmission distance and the optimal energy efficient scheme selection is also derived to define which model should be used to minimize the total energy consumption.
