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…

TLDR
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.
Transmitter-receiver energy efficiency: A trade-off in MIMO wireless sensor networks
TLDR
This paper introduces a novel communication protocol for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) WSNs, and proposes 3 low complexity heuristics with different information requirements that dramatically outperform a traditional fixed MIMO system in terms of energy consumption and system lifetime.
Energy-efficiency and transmission strategy selection in cooperative wireless sensor networks
TLDR
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.
An Energy-Efficient Transmission Scheme for Cooperative MIMO Wireless Networks
TLDR
A fast column generation algorithm along with a transmission mode generating algorithm is proposed to get rid of the complexity of having to enumerate all possible sets of scheduling links and show its efficiency on the energy consumption with a low time-complexity.
Energy-efficient cooperative beamforming in clustered wireless networks
TLDR
It is shown that cooperative beamforming significantly outperforms direct communications in energy efficiency, as well as in spectral efficiency, even though a much larger amount of circuit power is consumed.
Energy-efficient protocols for wireless networks with adaptive MIMO capabilities
TLDR
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
TLDR
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.

Performance analysis of MAC protocol for cooperative MIMO transmissions in WSN
TLDR
A comparison study of three cooperative MIMO schemes: beamforming (BF), STBC and spatial multiplexing (SM) where both the transmission and circuit energies are considered and it is suggested that the beamforming scheme utilising two transmit nodes results in an efficient cooperative system.
