Power Consumption Analysis Model in Wireless Sensor Network for Different Topology Protocols and Lightweight Cryptographic Algorithms

Abstract

In this paper we give power consumption estimation model for WSN for given set of topology protocols and lightweight cryptographic algorithms. The proposed power consumption estimate method is analyzed in simulation scenario for several protocols and cryptographic algorithms. We test the mathematical model in the simulation environment where WSN is applied for agriculture field monitoring of a typical size. The simulation results confirm the proposed power estimation formula. The proposed model can be used to select appropriate topology protocol and cryptographic algorithm. Based on the defined model and the simulation results, a sorted list of combinations of topology protocols and cipher algorithm is presented. The best power consumption results are obtained by using A3 topology protocol and KATAN64 cryptographic protocol.
