Energy Characterisation in Opportunistic Crowdsensing Data collection Framework

Abstract

Sensing is emerged as a vital parameter to monitor current status of environment and infrastructures. In this paper, we simulate and analyze the performance of the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in terms of energy consumption in Crowdsensing environment. For short range wireless communication, Bluetooth has emerged as a capable and energy efficient platform as compared to the Wi-Fi in context to energy. A model has been proposed to compute the energy used by considering Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with an idle mode of LTE. It is considered as derived values of transmission time and power consumption of Bluetooth instead of their fixed values.
