The Lifetime extension of battery operated devices is a key design issue that allows uninterrupted exchange of information among nodes. In this paper a general framework of network lifetime and bit error rate (BER) performance trade-off in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and Cooperative Wireless Networks (CWN) is proposed. The simulation results suggests that in case of WSN, the BER decreases with...
