Abstract

Energy Consumption in Wireless Sensor Networks is a fundamental issue in terms of functionality and network lifetime. Minimization of energy consumption by applying optimization techniques enables pervasive computing especially in the field of biomedical engineering. A framework for energy consumption measurement and analysis is proposed which combines a theoretical approach, a simulation procedure based on a widely used software simulator and the validation by means of a high sensitivity measurement setup. Application driven profiling of energy consumption at the node level is a useful tool for optimal function of energy consumable node components in order to improve total energy efficiency.
