Abstract — Recent advances in both micro electronics and wireless communication has made it possible to develop sensor nodes that have low manufacturing cost and are energy efficient. For the sensor nodes to have a low manufacturing cost and at the same time are energy efficient is a requirement, as the sensor nodes are going to be deployed in hundreds in a wide range of geographical environments. In this paper we presents a technique to lower the energy consumption in wireless sensor network by making the frame header more robust to errors. It shows that if the accuracy (update frequency at the Sink) is to be maintained in the network the sensor nodes can transmit a frame at a lower SNR and thus the power consumed by the transmit amplifier is reduced.
