Error Control Coding in Low-Power Wireless Sensor Networks: When Is ECC Energy-Efficient?

<p>This paper examines error control coding (ECC) use in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to determine the energy efficiency of specific ECC implementations in WSNs. ECC provides coding gain, resulting in transmitter energy savings, at the cost of added decoder power consumption. This paper der...
