Spatial Energy Balancing Through Proactive Multipath Routing in Wireless Multihop Networks
Overview This paper investigates the use of proactive multipath routing to achieve energy efficient operation of ad hoc wireless networks. The focus is on optimizing tradeoffs between the energy cost of spreading traffic and the improved spatial balance of energy burdens. The paper proposes a simple scheme for multipath routing based on spatial relationships among nodes. Then combining stochastic geometric and queuing models the paper develops a continuum model for such networks, permitting an evaluation of different types of scenarios, i.e., with and without energy replenishing and storage capabilities. The paper proposes a parameterized family of energy balancing strategies and studies the spatial distributions of energy burdens based on their associated second order statistics.
