Energy consumption model for devices in machine-to-machine system

The paper proposes an energy consumption model for energy constrained devices in Machine-to-Machine communication system. The model specifies generic tasks that are executed on M2M devices. It was implemented on devices on Waspmote and Arduino hardware platforms. Power consumption was calculated for the states of the proposed model. The model with calculated consumption values is applicable for testing algorithms and techniques for achieving higher energy efficiency. Furthermore, the paper presents a basic operating cycle in which tasks from the specified model are executed on M2M devices and M2M gateway in an energy efficient way. Energy consumption during 24 hours by using the suggested operating cycle is compared on Arduino and Waspmote hardware platforms.
