Can some one tell me how is energy consumption in WSN calculated. The nodes can be in transmitting or receiving or idle or in sleep ? Also how is the energy consumed by the entire network calculated ? Thanks
You may checks the battery renaming power in terms of voltage or simply percentage.
When i make experiment using NS-3, the parameters, such as transmission power, idle power and receiving can be setup. you just need to record the numbers of sent packets and receiving packet at each node. after the simulation is completed, You can calculate the energy for sending packets: transmission power*(packet size/ transmission rate)* packet number. Similar to receiving energy consumption. as for energy on idle state and sleeping state, you just record the total time of idle state and you can calculate them.
In Packet networks during ON period packets are transmitted followed by OFF periods during which it is inactive. The energy required is constant times the number of packets transmitted in ON periods
