Abstract

This paper reconsiders established power conservation models for ubiquitous sensor networks that use relay nodes instead of direct communication and proposes novel network power consumption model with consideration of the channel level and radio chip level simultaneously. We estimate the effect of minimum hop-count policy in terms of network power consumption through simulation of various situations for low power RF module CC2420. It is observed that maximum RF power and minimum hop-count results in lower energy consumption relatively. Also, in total network energy consumption, which is included re-transmission, minimum hop count policy presents decrease by 33.1% of energy consumption in compare with the conventional model.

본 논문에서는 무선채널의 신호감쇄특성으로 인하여 멀티홉을 통한 센서네트워크의 에너지소비를 최소화하려는 기존의 연구를 재해석하고 무선채널의 특성과 하드웨어의 전력소비를 동시에 고려하여 센서네트워크의 에너지소비를 모델링하였다. 또한 센서네트워크 하드웨어 플랫폼에 주로 사용되고 있는 RF모듈인 Chipcon사의 CC2420을 대상으로 최대 전송전력과 최소의 홉을 통한 데이터 전송이 네트워크의 에너지효율에 미치는 영향을 다양한 상황의 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증한다. 최대 전송전력으로 최소의 홉을 통하여 전송했을 경우, 낮은 전송전력으로 여러 홉을 거쳐 데이터를 전송하는 것보다 네트워크의 에너지소비가 적게 발생하는 것으로 관찰된다. 높은 전송전력에 따라 증가하는 재전송을 고려한 결과 또한 최대 전송전력으로 전송했을 경우 최대 33.1%의 에너지효율을 얻을 수 있다.
