Effects of Mica2-based discrete energy levels on the lifetime of cooperation neighbor sensor networks

Abstract

using Mica2 mote discrete power levels on neighbor sensor network lifetime. We built a linear programming framework to qualify the cooperation of sensor networks using a discrete energy model in comparison to noncooperating networks. Our results showed that a wireless sensor neighbor network that uses a discrete radio model can be more energy efficient than a network that uses a nondiscrete energy model.
