SimpleEnergyStorage

[Maurício Bertanha]

Hi everyone, I am having some problems to handle with energy levels. I am using SimpleEnergyStorage to handle the energy of my sensor nodes. My first question is: Does the transmitter power affect the battery level? I have the following snippet in my code for the sensors:

wlan[*].radio.transmitter.power = 2mW;

No matter how I change the power level, the energy remaining in the nodes decreases with the same ratio during execution time. Should I change it in other places?

Another question: is there a way to set a node to sleep? I was planning to reduce the power in the transmitter during sleep time, is it the best approach?

Thanks.

it isn't the power parameter that determine the consumption. You need to define a energyConsumer and to set the consumption in every state

For example

*.host*.wlan[0].radio.energyConsumerType = "StateBasedEnergyConsumer"
*.host*.wlan[0].radio.energyConsumer.offPowerConsumption = 0mW
*.host*.wlan[0].radio.energyConsumer.sleepPowerConsumption = 1mW
*.host*.wlan[0].radio.energyConsumer.switchingPowerConsumption = 1mW
*.host*.wlan[0].radio.energyConsumer.receiverIdlePowerConsumption = 2mW
*.host*.wlan[0].radio.energyConsumer.receiverBusyPowerConsumption = 5mW
*.host*.wlan[0].radio.energyConsumer.receiverReceivingPowerConsumption = 10mW
*.host*.wlan[0].radio.energyConsumer transmitterIdlePowerConsumption = 2mW
*.host*.wlan[0].radio.energyConsumer.transmitterTransmittingPowerConsumption = 100mW

Thank you Alfonso, just one more question: Do you know how I set the host to sleep mode during the simulation?
