Communication energy model

IEEE standards as 802.11a, b, and g provide a wide range of data rates: 54,48,36,24,18,12,9 and 6 mb/s. this range reflects the trade off between the transmission range and data rate intrinsic in a wireless communication channel. An accurate energy model is crucial for the development of energy efficient clustering and routing protocols. The energy consumption, E for all components of the watts is summarized as

E=theta+ηwdn


Where Ѳ is the distance independent term that accounts for the overhead of the radio electronics and digital processing, and ηwd^n is the distance dependent term in which η represents the amplifier inefficiency factor w is the free space path loss d is the distance and n in the environmental factor. Based on an environmental condition, n can be any number between 2 and 4 and η specifies the inefficiency of the transmitter when generating maximum power wd^n at the antenna. Clearly the distance dependent portal of total energy consumption depends on the real-world Tranreceiver parameters, Ѳ, η and the path attenuation wd^n. if the value of Ѳ overshadows ηwd^n, the reduction in the transmission distances through the use of multihop communication is not effective.
