Energy-efficient Routing in User-centric Environments

Abstract

This paper is focused on the analysis of energyaware multihop routing metrics for wireless environments which integrate heterogeneous devices that are carried or owned by Internet end-users. The paper gives our own (initial) perspective on how network energy-savings may be improved by considering not only a single (sender) node perspective, but also the perspective of its potential successors when devising energy-aware routing metrics.

Energy-Efficient Heuristics for Multihop Routing in User-Centric Environments

“…In previous work [2,3] we have discussed the potential of current energy-aware routing approaches for wireless networks, and whether or not they may make sense when applied to routing in user-centric environments. We have also proposed a few initial concepts that could assist in making multihop routing more efficient in terms of energy-awareness, without necessarily having to change operational aspects of the underlying algorithms, or protocols.…”
