摘要：In wireless sensor networks, devices are required to self-organize themselves into a network without previously established infrastructure. Because the device is battery-powered, one of the most important design criteria for this type of network is energy efficiency. Based on two linear traffic models and an extension of energy model of the radio, we consider different multi-hop scenarios to compute the energy and energy efficiency of the whole network. Through analyzing these results, we present two valid deployment mechanisms for sensor nodes.
