Energy-efficient topology control for wireless sensor networks using online battery monitoring
Institute for Electromagnetic Theory and Microelectronics (ITEM), University of Bremen, Bremen, Germany
Abstract. This paper presents a first approach towards cooperative energy management in wireless sensor networks using online battery monitoring. Using a standard platform for wireless sensor networks, a simple concept for measuring the battery voltage on the mote with little additional hardware is shown. This is used for modelling of the battery discharge behaviour of Li-Ion batteries and deriving the remaining lifetime under given environmental conditions. As an application example this model can be incorporated into a topology control scheme for optimized network lifetime under variable environmental conditions.
