Energy Efficiency Analysis Of Differential Space Shift Keying Technique In Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

We construct a cooperative Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) network using Differential Space Shift Keying (DSSK) technique in wireless sensor network (WSN). We derive the energy consumption per bit in fast fading environment. We also investigate the energy consumption of gray code and lexicographic way of antennas activation in DSSK. From the simulation results, it is evident that the gray code order of antenna activation provides significant energy saving compared to the lexicographic antenna activation technique.
