Novel enabling technologies from physical layer to Medium Access Control (MAC) layer are proposed to provide energy efficient Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) Distributed Antenna System (DAS) based Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The power consumption performance of the network is evaluated in terms of the total network power consumption based on the proposed power consumption models from the physical layer. The results illustrate that for a given power consumption value, the tradeoff among the number of Remote Access Units (RAUs), the number of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antennas and the number of hops must be taken into account. In order to efficiently reduce the total network power consumption, we also proposed a solution from the MAC layer using a sleep-aware MAC protocol, which can dynamically centralized control MIMO antennas to operate in a sleep mode. The proposed enabling technologies provide basis for selecting suitable RoF DAS based WSN and effectively reduce the power consumption.
