This article describes the modeling of a microsensor node for wireless sensor network applications. Considering the heterogeneous aspect of a sensor node, the developed model allows comparing different node configurations in order to make the best choice of components according to the specifications of the application. Therefore, our model allows identifying the need to design specific element or to use Components Of the Shelf.
