Wireless sensor networks consist of small, autonomous devices with wireless networking capabilities.In order to further increase the applicability in real world applications, minimizing power consumption is one of the most critical issues.Therefore, accurate power model is required for the evaluation of wireless sensor networks.In this paper, the power consumption for wireless sensor networks node is analyzed.To estimate the lifetime of sensor node, the power characteristics of proposed sensor node are measured.Based on the proposed model, the estimated lifetime of a battery powered sensor node can use about 6.925 months for 10 times humidity detection per hour.
