Abstract
power consumed for routing data-packets in wireless ad
hoc networks can be significantly reduced compared with
the current min-hop max-power routing protocols. One of
promising mechanisms proposed to reduce energy
consumption is power control. Doshi & Timothy [7]
have presented an implementation of this mechanism,
and defined a new minimum energy routing scheme. We
think that the aim of an efficient routing protocol is not
only to minimize energy consumption to route packets,
but also to ensure a long life to all nodes. In order to
avoid the network partition as long as possible.
In this paper, we define new metrics to resolve the tradeoff
between: minimising energy consumption to route
packets, on the one hand, and ensuring a long life to all
nodes’ batteries, on the other hand. We also define a new
technique which allows the distribution of the routing
task over nodes then we modify DSR protocol, to
improve it and to make a new power-aware and power
efficient protocol.
