This paper presents a system-level characterization of the energy consumption for sensor network application scenarios. They compute a power efficiency metric-average watt-per-meter-for each radio transmission and extend this local metric to find the global energy consumption. This analysis shows how overall energy consumption varies with transceiver characteristics, node density, data traffic distribution, and base-station location.
