This paper presents an accurate and up-to-date energy consumption model for devices using this IEEE 802.15.4e TSCH mode. The model identifies all network-related CPU and radio state changes, thus providing a precise representation of the device behavior and an accurate prediction of its energy consumption. Moreover, energy measurements were performed with a dual-band OpenMote device, running the OpenWSN firmware. This allows the model to be used for devices using 2.4 GHz, as well as 868 MHz. Using these measurements, several network simulations were conducted to observe the TSCH energy consumption effects in end-to-end communication for both frequency bands. Experimental verification of the model shows that it accurately models the consumption for all possible packet sizes and that the calculated consumption on average differs less than 3% from the measured consumption. This deviation includes measurement inaccuracies and the variations of the guard time. As such, the proposed model is very suitable for accurate energy consumption modeling of TSCH networks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18020437","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,2]],"date-time":"2018-02-02T06:45:40Z","timestamp":1517553940000},"page":"437","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Accurate Energy Consumption Modeling of IEEE 802.15.4e TSCH Using Dual-Band OpenMote Hardware"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4697-5722","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Glenn","family":"Daneels","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"IDLab Research Group, University of Antwerp\u2014imec, 2000 Antwerp, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Esteban","family":"Municio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IDLab Research Group, University of Antwerp\u2014imec, 2000 Antwerp, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bruno","family":"Van de Velde","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IDLab Research Group, University of Antwerp\u2014imec, 2000 Antwerp, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1310-9115","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Glenn","family":"Ergeerts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IDLab Research Group, University of Antwerp\u2014imec, 2000 Antwerp, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1152-6617","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maarten","family":"Weyn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IDLab Research Group, University of Antwerp\u2014imec, 2000 Antwerp, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Steven","family":"Latr\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IDLab Research Group, University of Antwerp\u2014imec, 2000 Antwerp, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3587-1354","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jeroen","family":"Famaey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IDLab Research Group, University of Antwerp\u2014imec, 2000 Antwerp, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"101","DOI":"10.1109\/SURV.2012.040412.00105","article-title":"The Evolution of MAC Protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks: A Survey","volume":"15","author":"Huang","year":"2013","journal-title":"IEEE Commun.
