The Multi-path Power-aware Source Routing(MPSR) for the Maximum Network Lifetime in Ad-Hoc Networks
Hoyoung Hwang, Hyo-Joong Suh · The Journal of the Institute of Webcasting, Internet and Telecommunication · 2010
In Ad-Hoc Networks, the limited energy is the key issue for longer network operation time. To solve this problem, various energy-aware routing techniques have been proposed including PSR (Power-aware Source Routing), HPSR (Hirachical Power-aware Source Routing), and etc. Those techniques generally select the most adequate route considering the energy consumption so that the energy efficiency can be improved. However, There are problems in those techniques that traffic can be concentrated in some specific area in a network. In this paper, a new energy aware routing technique called MPSR is proposed to achieve longer network lifetime and fewer rerouting attempts.
