Managing the power resources of sensor networks with performance considerations

Power Considerations for Sensor Networks

“…During their deployment, the motes are programmed to sense the environment and relay sensor readings to the sink. Several MAC protocols have been proposed for these applications where the motes are periodically scheduled to be in a power-saving state (a sleep state or an off state) in order to save their battery power and extend their deployment lifetime, see (Singh & Raghavendra, 1998;Stewart & Tragoudas, 2007;Ye et al, 2004) among others.…”
