TY - GEN A1 - Sieber, André A1 - Nolte, Jörg T1 - Datasheet vs. Real World: A Look on Sensor Node Energy Consumption T2 - 2012 IEEE International Conference on Green Computing and Communications (GreenCom), Besancon, France, 20 - 23 November 2012 N2 - Energy and run time are mayor concerns in wireless sensor networks. Reliable information about the energy consumption is needed to be able to build a network and tune its application. In this paper we take a look on the energy consumption of the Texas Instruments eZ430-Chronos, an MSP430 based wireless sensor node, and compare it to the manufacturers datasheet. The measurements show how reliable these specifications are and which consequences should be taken.

September 2014 an der Universität Potsdam N2 - Embedded systems, e.g. nodes within sensor networks, often have tight bound goals for lifetime while running from a not renewable energy source. Mostly batteries are used, which are vulnerable to temperature and non-linear effects. Additionally, variations within the hardware or induced by the software make the prediction of the available and consumed energy a complicated task. To reach certain lifetime goals under these influences, online energy management is necessary. For a fine-grained management on the level of individual sub-tasks, it is necessary to know where in the system the energy is consumed. In this work, we extend our online energy accounting approach to enable online energy management. We present ways to control application and device behavior, and, thus, energy using energy budgets. First experiments yield promising results, reaching their lifetime goals while maintaining a high application quality.

Variations within the hardware or induced by the software complicate the prediction of the energy consumption. Additionally, batteries are vulnerable to temperature and non-linear effects. To reach certain lifetime goals under these influences without sacrificing energy due to pessimistic estimations, online energy management is necessary. At Sensorcomm 2015 we presented policies to control the behavior of applications and devices using energy budgets. This paper is an extended version which adds further details and the evaluation of the proposed dynamic energy management in a real-world scenario.
