In this paper, we evaluate the performance of the minimum energy wireless network, which seeks to provide global connectivity in an ad hoc network while maintaining overall minimum energy for communications. The properties and advantages of employing multi-hop communication over a direct peer-to-peer communication system are illustrated and the performance of such a network is characterized. The blockage percentage for throughput and the overall power consumption are also quantified via simulation.
