A Location-Aided Power-Aware Routing Protocol in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Overview In multi-hop wireless ad-hoc networks, designing energy-efficient routing protocols is critical since nodes are power-constrained. However, it is also an inherently hard problem due to two important factors: First, the nodes may be mobile, demanding the energy-efficient routing protocol to be fully distributed and adaptive to the current states of nodes; second, the wireless links may be uni-directional due to asymmetric power configurations of adjacent nodes. This paper proposes a location-aided power-aware routing protocol that dynamically makes local routing decisions so that a near-optimal power-efficient end-to-end route is formed for forwarding data packets. The protocol is fully distributed such that only location information of neighboring nodes is exploited in each routing node.
