Abstract :
In wireless sensor networks (WSN) cooperative communications can be defined as a potential candidate to conflict the effects of channel fading. Energy efficacy is one of the major issues for WSNs. To increase the transmit energy efficiency, the total energy consumed means the power consumed in the receiving and processing circuitry known as overhead should be minimized. In this paper, we look into consideration such extra overhead, for studying the energy efficacy of two way communications compromise of cooperation in sensor networks. Several parameters are involved here such as the receiving and processing power, the required quality-of-service (QOS), the power amplifier loss, and several other factors. For short distance separation between the source and destination, direct transmission is more energy efficient than relaying.
