Energy Efficiency Analysis of LoRa and ZigBee Protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract
Now a days IoT technologies are emerging technology with wide range of applications. Wireless
sensor networks (WSNs) are plays vital role in IoT technologies. Construction of wireless sensor
node with low-power radio link and high-speed processors is an interesting contribution for wireless
sensor networks and IoT applications. Most of WSNs are furnished with battery source that has
limited lifetime. The maximum operations of these networks require more power utility. Nevertheless,
improving network efficiency and lifetime is a curtail issue in WSNs. Designing a low powered
wireless sensor networks is a major challenges in recent years, it is essential to model its efficiency
and power consumption for different applications. This paper describes power consumption model
based on LoRa and Zigbee protocols, allows wireless sensor nodes to monitor and measure power
consumption in a cyclic sleeping scenario. Experiential results reveals that the designed LoRa
wireless sensor nodes have the potential for real-world IoT application with due consideration of
communicating distance, data packets, transmitting speed, and consumes low power as compared
with Zigbee sensor nodes. The measured sleep intervals achieved lower power consumption in LoRa
as compared with Zigbee. The uniqueness of this research work lies in the review of wireless sensor
node optimization and power consumption of these two wireless sensor networks for IoT applications.
