Abstract

Aim of this study is analyzing energy conservation which is one of the most vital aspects in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) for better network durability, since sensor nodes have limited resources of energy. In our propose technique, we have shown that how in presence of existing Error Control Coding (ECC) techniques and decoder complexity energy efficiency increased. That is by estimating transmitter power for each sensor node in given environment. Since adoption of ECC reduces required transmitter power for reliable communication, while increase processing energy of decoding operations. Required transmitter power for sensor nodes in given environment for different coding techniques like Reed-Solomon (RS), Convolutional (CC) energy efficiency and bit error rate has been analyzed for different Eb/N0.

Keywords:

Bit error rate, error control coding, transmitter power, wireless sensor networks,
