Instead of which kind of energy source would be used in the network deployment, the characterization of the power consumption in each mode of operation should be made for determine the autonomy of each individual node, allowing the appliance of a diversity of techniques and strategies for increasing the entire network reliability.EnglishLACCEI Licensehttps://laccei.org/blog/copyright-laccei-papers/WSNsensor nodecurrent measurementpower budgetenergy consumptionArticle
