Analysis and Design of a Wireless Sensor Network Based on the Residual Energy of the Nodes and the Harvested Energy from Mint Plants

Table 8

Possible transitions in the case .

Initial state	Final state^3	Probability of changing state	Notes
			Only one node changes from state to the state .^4
			Two nodes change from state to the state .^4
			Three nodes change from state to the state .^4
			The four nodes change from state to the state .^4
			The four nodes remain in the same state.

³If , then , and . If , then , and . ⁴If a node changes from OFF to ON state, it can transmit or receive data and consume an amount of energy related to being active (listening or receiving) or transmitting, respectively. If a node changes from ON to OFF state, it harvests energy.
