Abstract: In wireless sensor networks (WSN), energy efficiency is of critical concern as the sensor nodes are powered by limited battery capacity. The choice of a modulation scheme and error control code plays an important role in determining the energy consumption of WSN. This paper analyses the performance of error control codes and various modulation schemes for WSN. The analysis reveals that the energy consumption in WSN can be decreased by a suitable choice of modulation scheme and error control codes. Our simulation results show that by using BPSK modulation with Reed Solomon (RS) code saves 48 % energy in WSN at an internode distance of 60 meters in comparison to higher order modulation schemes.
