On Power Consumption of Wireless Sensor Nodes with Min(N,T) Policy in Spectrum Sharing Systems

In this paper, we analyze the power consumption of wireless sensor nodes with min(N,T) policy and M/G/1 queue in the presence of Nakagami-m fading. In particular, this system setting is applied to a wireless sensor node operating in a cognitive radio system as secondary user in the presence of a primary user. As such, not only the queue policy influences the power consumption but also the interference power constraint imposed on the wireless sensor node by the primary user. Thus, a queued sleep/wake-up strategy is analyzed in order to mitigate the average power consumption of a sensor node using min(N,T) policy in the context of an M/G/1 queue and a spectrum sharing environment in the presence of signal fading. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the impact of queuing parameters and fading channel on the power consumption of a wireless sensor node.
