Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are a current topic of research that find usage in many applications from environmental monitoring and health protection to military applications. In this paper, analysis of the possibility of reducing the emissivity of radio sensor networks with the assumed transmission probability is discussed. This has a direct influence on power consumption by the nodes and network lifetime. A method based on introducing retransmissions on individual links creating paths between the nodes is presented. Two approaches are used in analyses, the first one being deterministic methods and the second one simulation. Both methods are used to determine the emissivity of the network. The obtained results are compared with a method that uses retransmission on entire paths. This shows that emissivity is more than five times less than the values obtained by retransmission on entire paths.
