On the Energy Utilization of WSN Communications Using Space-Time Block Coding…

Abstract: Energy is a scarce and most vital resource in a wireless sensor network (WSN). Since space-time block coding requires less transmission energy than SISO technique for the same bit error rate (BER), therefore, it is one of the most practical diversity technique for WSN studies. In this work, we have investigated the energy utilization of a simple multiple-input single-output system usi…
