The exponential rise in wireless communication demands and allied applications have revitalized academia-industries to develop more efficient routing protocols. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) being battery operated network, it often undergoes node death-causing pre-ma...

A routing algorithm named Sub-Game Energy Aware Routing (SGEAR) modeled by Dynamic Game Theory is proposed in this paper to make better routing choices. SGEAR takes the residual energy of the nodes and the energy consumption of the path into consideration and achieves Nash Equilibrium using Backward Induction. Compared with Energy Aware Routing, SGEAR can provide stable routing choices for rela...

We pursue an analytical approach to energy consumption characterization of large scale mobile ad hoc networks. An energy aware hybrid routing strategy is proposed and analyzed. Referred to as Energy Aware GEo-location aided Routing (EAGER), this protocol optimally blends proactive and reactive routing strategies for energy efficiency. Specifically, EAGER partitions the network into cells and pe...

While traditional routing protocols try to minimize the end-to-end delay or maximize the throughput, most energyaware routing protocols for wireless sensor networks try to extend the life time of the network by minimizing the energy consumption sacrificing other performance metrics. In this paper, we introduce a new energy-aware routing protocol that tries to minimize the energy consumption and...

Energy conservation is important for mobile ad hoc networks where devices are expected to work for longer periods of time without the need for charging their batteries. Therefore there is a need of an intelligent routing protocol that can minimize overhead and ensure the use of minimum energy routes. In Progressive Energy Efficient Routing, energy efficient shortest paths are selected with mini...

OEARP is a set of widely held routing protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). There are many issues and challenges that affect routing of data such as high energy consumption, which reduces network lifetime, and vulnerable routing path is major threat for sensor nodes. The aim of this paper is to propose an energy aware routing approach that enhances the energy levels of each sensor duri...

In this letter, we propose an energy-aware source routing protocol for maximizing the network lifetime in mobile ad hoc networks. We define a new routing cost by considering both transmit and receive power consumption and remaining battery level in each node simultaneously and present an efficient route discovery procedure to investigate the proposed routing cost. Intensive simulation verifies ...
