In order to analyze the energy consumption, the node model is simulated using Proteus Software tool. The proposed sensor nodeกฏs power characteristics are measured by using different combinations of microprocessors and sensors. Using this, the energy consumption of the node is calculated. This is a cost-effective method and provides appropriate power model for specific applications. %K Wireless Sensor Networks %K Microcontroller %K Lifetime %K Differential Encoding %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=72365
