Abstract

In this paper, we consider wireless sensor networks with hard energy constraint, where each node is powered by a small battery. Under this hard constraint, reducing energy consumption is the most important design consideration for wireless sensor networks. Energy saving and control is an important issue, involved in the design of most sensor nodes. In this context, we focus on physical layer design where energy constraint problem can be modeled as an optimization of transmission modulation scheme[1]. Specifically, our analyses are based on energy control schemes that are relative to physical layer design on upper bound SEP MPSK in AWGN channels.
