## 5 Proposed CB-UWSN Design Parameters  
When a sensor node is part of a wireless sensor network, the three operations that consume the most energy are data collecting, processing, and transmission. The capture energy is lost while the sample is being taken, the signal is being processed, the analog-to-digital conversion is taking place, and the capture probe is being engaged. The entire processing energy is composed of two components: switching power and leakage power. The software will toggle between the supply voltage and the total switched capacitance to determine the switching energy (by executing a software). However, even when the processing unit is not actively working, it consumes energy, which is known as leakage energy. Power in communication is divided into two components: reception energy, which is necessary for data receipt, and transmission energy (required for data transmission). Several elements are considered while estimating the required amount of power, including the data load, the distance that must be transferred, and the radio module parameters. One of the properties that define a signal is its strength while it is being conveyed. If the transmission strength is high, the signal will be able to go further, but at the penalty of using more energy. The amount of energy necessary to acquire and process data is often relatively low and can be regarded as insignificant when compared to the amount of energy required for real communication. Given that communication accounts for the great majority of a sensor node's overall energy consumption, we shall concentrate entirely on this element.  
**Consumption of Transmit Mode Energy:** It provides information regarding the amount of power that is consumed by a network throughout the process of transmitting data from one node to another [25].  
**Consumption of Receive Mode Energy:** It provides information regarding the amount of power that is consumed by a network throughout the process of receiving data from one node to another [26].  
**Consumption of Idle Mode Energy:** Using up lots of energy when in idle mode, it provides information on the amount of power that is used by a network while it is not sending or receiving data from one node to another. This occurs when the network is not actively transmitting or receiving data [27].  
Energy consumption is calculated using Equation (4).  
\[\mathbf{EnergyConsumption}=\frac{\mathbf{E_{total}}}{\mathbf{N}\times\mathbf{Pt_{S}} \times 50} \tag{4}\]  
where \(\mathbf{Pt_{S}}\) is the successful packet reception, N is the number of nodes, and \(\mathbf{E_{total}}\) is the total energy consumption  
Traditionally, these UWSNs require a lot of power to function. However, lowering the system's power requirements extends the lifetime of the sensor devices and frees up space for battery-powered applications [28; 29; 30]. Battery-powered gadgets enable a wide range of use cases and provide options for low-return applications. Low-power wireless sensor networks come into play here [31; 32]. The term \"low power\" refers to wireless sensor networks built to minimize the power needs of individual wireless sensor nodes, which is the key to increasing the lifetime of WSNs. In order to reduce overall power consumption, low-power wireless sensor networks regulate the \"awake time\" of the devices (such as mobile) and limit the current drawn during their \"sleeping\" states [33; 34]. To do this, these networks adjust the power settings of the connected devices to states such as \"always on\", \"standby\", and \"hibernation\" [35].
