Equal transmission power based energy efficient wireless sensor networks for industry 5.0

Abstract— The world today has progressed in science and technology to an extent unimagined by humans in the past. This scientific development has facilitated our lives in all aspects. All the sectors benefit from science. Industry 5, propelled by advanced automation and AI integration, revolutionizes manufacturing with unprecedented efficiency and customization. Sensors play a vital role in enabling Industry 5.0 by precise monitoring and analysis for informed decision-making. Due to the easiness of deployment, wireless sensor nodes are mostly used devices in the market. When these wireless sensors communicate with each other as a network, energy consumption is still the main constraint as the sensors only have a limited energy supply which might not even be rechargeable. In this paper, an energy-efficient algorithm is proposed after experimenting with several scenarios. The reduction in transmission power is experienced by using intermediate nodes as relays instead of direct communication with a remote node. Relaying can be beneficial for improving overall energy efficiency. The analysis shows that the Equal Transmission Power (ETP) outperforms the other local algorithms.
