IEpEnergyConsumer

module interface

This interface extends the corresponding energy model interface. It requires implementations to describe energy consumption and energy generation with power [W] and storage capacity with energy [J]. The Ep is an abbreviation that is used for energy and power based interfaces.

Inheritance diagram

The following diagram shows inheritance relationships for this type. Unresolved types are missing from the diagram.

Implemented by

Name	Type	Description
AlternatingEpEnergyConsumer	simple module	This energy consumer model alternates between two modes called consumption and sleep mode. In consumption mode, it consumes a randomly selected constant power for a random time interval. In sleep mode, it doesn't consume energy for another random time interval.
EpEnergyConsumerBase	simple module	This is an abstract base module for power-based energy consumer models. It defines shared signals and statistics.
Ieee80211StateBasedEpEnergyConsumer	simple module	Provides a radio power consumer model for IEEE 802.11 radios. Default values are roughly based on CC3220 transceiver. The power consumption is determined by the radio mode, the transmitter state, and the receiver state using constant parameters.
SensorStateBasedEpEnergyConsumer	simple module	This energy consumption module extends ~StateBasedEpEnergyConsumer and provides default values suitable for use in low-power wireless sensor nodes. Values are roughly based on the datasheet for the CC2500 RF transceiver. Used for accurate battery life simulation in wireless sensor networks.
StateBasedEpEnergyConsumer	simple module	Provides a radio power consumer model. The power consumption is determined by the radio mode, the transmitter state, and the receiver state using constant parameters.

Extends

Name	Type	Description
IEnergyConsumer	module interface	The energy consumer models describe the energy consumption process of devices over time. For example, a radio consumes energy when it transmits or receives signals, or a CPU consumes energy when the network layer processes packets, or a display consumes energy when it's turned on, etc.
