In many Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications, it is important to optimize the global energy efficiency to enhance both the node autonomy and the whole WSN lifetime. In this context, the achievement of a power-aware design is a complex task due to the impact over the WSN energy consumption of different parameters, which are inherent to application, network or node levels. Therefore, a cross-level energy model is a useful way to estimate this energy consumption, leading designers to take correct decisions at the earliest design stages. Thus, this paper describes the principles of a cross-level energy model, which tries to address some weakness of existing WSN simulators in terms of energy modelling.
