Abstract

Wireless sensor network is combination of large number of small sensor nodes, which are generally powered by battery. The nodes have limited battery energy and it is very difficult to replace easily due to their deployment scenarios and geographical constraints. This has made the energy consumption of the node as the main issue of wireless sensor network. The energy consumption is significant in finding the route in the network to pass on the data within the network. Most of the routing algorithms focus on the energy consumption path only. This paper presents the comparison of different energy models (Generic model, Mica-Z, Mica Motes) and analysis has been undertaken for performance of different metrics such as power consumed in transmit mode, receive mode, and idle mode and provide suitable answer to reduce the power consumption of the network. It is found that the proposed energy model in cluster based wireless sensor network Mica-motes model performance is better than other two energy models. The system has been implemented using Network Simulator Qualnet 5.2.
