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.
StateBasedEpEnergyConsumer	simple module	This 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.
