On the Evaluation of GMSK Scheme with ECC Techniques in Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless sensor nodes are powered by batteries, for which replacement is very difficult. That is why, optimization of energy consumption is a major objective in the area of wireless sensor networks (WSNs).On the other hand, noisy channel has a prominent influence on the reliability of data transmission. Therefore, an energy efficient transmission strategy should be considered on the communication process of wireless nodes in order to obtain optimal energy network consumption. Indeed, the choice of suitable modulation format with the proper Error Correcting code (ECC) played a great responsibility to obtain better energy conservation.In this work, we aim to evaluate the performance analysis of Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK) modulation with several combinations of coding strategies using various analysis metrics such as Bit Error Rate (BER), energy consumption.Through extensive simulation, we disclose that he gain achieved through GMSK modulation with suitable channel coding mechanism is promising to obtain reliable communication and energy conservation in WSN.
