Wireless Sensor Networks functionality is closely related to network lifetime which depends on the energy consumption, so require energy- efficient protocols to improve the network lifetime. According to the analysis and summary of the current energy efficient estimation algorithms in wireless sensor network An energy-efficient algorithm is proposed,. Then this optimization algorithm proposed in the paper is adopted to improve the traditional diffusion routing protocol. Simulation results show that this algorithm is to effectively balance the network energy consumption, improve the network life-cycle and ensure the communication quality.

In this paper, we propose a novel energy detection (ED) receiver architecture combined with time-of-arrival (TOA) estimation algorithm, compliant to the IEEE 802.15.4a standard. The architecture is based on double overlapping integrators and a sliding correlator. It exploits a series of ternary preamble sequences with perfect autocorrelation property. This property ensures coding gain, which allows an accurate estimation of power delay profile (PDP). To improve TOA estimation, the interpolation of PDP samples is proposed and the architecture is validated by using an ultra-wideband signals measurements platform. These measurements are carried out in line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight multipath environments. The experimental results show that the ranging performances obtained by the proposed architecture are higher than those obtained by the conventional architecture based on a single-integrator in both LOS and NLOS environments.
