Abstract

The main source of power supply for Wireless Sensor Networks are batteries, which are limited in life-cycle, thus limiting the sensors lifetime. Due this fact, the energy efficiency network is becoming the main concern to be addressed by researchers. This work aims to implement two theoretical energy-saving algorithms for WSN, DTNBOR and DTRNG. These algorithms choose their transmissions powers dynamically. Results obtained from simulations and necessary adjustments, for proper operation in a real implementation will be showed.
