Abstract (EN): In the design of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), lifetime estimation is an important issue. This benchmark is closely related to the energy consumption of nodes. However, this assessment is not a trivial task. In such context, we propose an innovative energy measurement system for WSN. The designed system was employed for energy consumption measurements on a MicaZ node. With these measurements, a set of polynomial functions could be designed to emulate a realistic energy discharging curve for WSN nodes. These functions were then implemented in the OMNeT++ simulator to emulate the behavior of batteries discharging, potentially benefiting performance assessment of WSN. ©2013 International Information Institute.
