Abstract
Devices in a wireless sensor network are typically powered by limited and sometimes unchargeable batteries, which are supposed to sustain for months or even years. To enhance the lifetime of a sensor network, highly efficient energy management techniques are mandatory, in order to successfully achieve the missions of the network. These techniques, however, involve all levels of the sensor system hierarchy in data processing and transmitting. Thus, energy awareness should be incorporated into every level of the system design and operation to maximize the lifetime and connectivity as much as possible. In this chapter, state-of-the-art techniques at each layer for optimizing the energy usage proposed in literature are introduced. To illustrate the efficacies of the approaches, design examples in reducing energy expenditure are also given as well. In addition, new thoughts in energy conservation by exploiting the interactions between different layers are presented. These new ideas could be effective in reducing the energy consumption.
