Analizy porównawcze: DM vs. Other Modulation Schemes in WSNs
Tu put DM into perspective, it is helpful to compare it with popular accords used in WSNs:
Pulse Code Modulation (PCM)
PCM encodes samples into multi- bit words (np., 8- 12 bits). It offers higher fidelity than basic DM but requires more complex hardware and d higher transmissionon power. PCM is better approped for audio and high-creacy measurements. However, in battery- operated WSNs, DM 's lower per- samples energy often wins, especially when combinad with adaptive techniques.
