Abstract

In this paper we proposed an energy consumption model for IR-UWB wireless sensor networks. The model takes the advantages of PHY-MAC cross layer design, and we used slotted and un-slotted sleeping protocols to compare the energy consumption. We addressed different system design issues that are responsible to energy consumption and proposed an optimum model for the system design. We expect the slotted sleeping will consume less energy for bursty load than that of the un-slotted one. But if we consider latency, the un-slotted sleeping model performs better than the slotted sleeping case.
