An Efficient Cluster-Based Reliable Power Aware Scheme (RPAS) for Network Longevity in WSN
Authors: ,
Abstract: This experimental work is mainly focused on designing a new wireless sensor networks (WSN) node called WSNMSP430 with increased life time. The developed node was based on the analysis of the various low power components available in the market and also an energy model was created for processor, transceiver & sensor for predicting the life time of the WSN node. Utilizing low power features supported by processor and transceiver a reliable power aware scheme was developed for the node to transmit and receive the packets. An appropriate experimental setup was employed for transmitting and receiving the packets to various WSNMSP430 nodes in different places. And also the same node was compared with cross bow motes like Telosb, Mica2 & Micaz for estimating the life time through various real time scenarios. From the experimental test results it revealed that newly developed node had good impact on the improved life time.
