This document discusses power management in wireless sensor networks. It describes the basic components of a wireless sensor network including sensor nodes, a base station, and how they are connected. It identifies power consumption as a major challenge for wireless sensor networks. Several techniques for improving network lifetime are discussed, including sleep-wake scheduling, routing protocols, and using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems to reduce power consumption compared to single-input single-output systems. MATLAB will be used to simulate and analyze these power management techniques.
