“…We based our energy consumption model on those in Refs. . The energy consumption for the communication link was calculated as follows: where L ACK is the acknowledgement (ACK) packet length, R is the uncoded data rate, T ACK is the duration of an ACK packet, L PHR is the length of a physical layer header (PHR), L SHR is the length of a synchronization header (SHR), L PSDU, i is the length of a physical layer service data unit (PSDU) for the i th trans...…”
