Survivable Routing Protocol for Green Wireless Mesh Networks Based on Energy Efficiency

摘要

This paper proposes a new Energyefficient Survivable Routing Protocol(ESRP)based on solar energy and wind mixed for power supply in green wireless mesh networks(WMNs).The ESRP combines hop penalty strategy and flooding delaying strategy to improve the performances of traditional routing protocol.This paper uses QualNet to simulate and verify the performances of proposed ESRP.Compared with the traditional routing protocol,the simulation results show that the energy utilization of ESRP is more efficient by 13%.At the same time,ESRP is more load-balanced to postpone the appearance of the first energy depletion node and reduce the number of energy depletion nodes,and thus it effectively improves network survivability.
