The WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) belong to an area that gives rise to great opportunities to spread innovative and low cost applications. These kinds of networks are composed of tiny devices with limited energy. The main source of power supply for WSNs are batteries, which are limited in cycle life, thus limiting the sensors lifetime and the network as a whole. Due to that fact, the energy efficiency network is becoming the main concern to be addressed by researchers. Rising energy prices and global energy consumption by the ICT (Information and Communications Technologies) sector have grown dramatically due to the continuous increase in customer number and the demand for more complex applications. For the reasons outlined above, different energy-saving techniques for WSNs have been developed. Two energy-saving algorithms for WSNs were implemented in this thesis, and they were tested by experimental evaluation using simulation. The results obtained from the simulations showed the advantages of working with systems aiming at energy efficiency.
