Dynamic power controlled routing has become a viable alternative to traditional routing protocols in wireless ad hoc networks, particularly with the goal of making a more efficient power management. The existing schemes in this approach tend to converge to a route comprised of a minimum spanning tree between the source and destination nodes. However, this final route is found by an iterative procedure. In the current paper, a proposal is made which builds the final route in one step, by calculating the corresponding minimum spanning tree using a low complexity algorithm based on BDDs.
