Energy Efficiency Cross Layer Protocol for Wireless Mesh Network

摘要

Wireless mesh network (WMN) is a novel emerging technology that will change the world more effectivelyand efficiently. It is regarded as a highly promising technology being increasingly important in mobilewireless networks of the future generation. In this paper, we consider energy management for wirelessmesh networks from a point of view that started recently to attract the attention means the conservation ofenergy for operational and the environment reasons which is known as the Green Networking. This paperdiscusses different routing protocols to establish a protocol which considers energy efficiency. The existingprotocols are compared using the basic functions of routing and the suggest protocol is designed toovercome some of their shortcomings. We are focusing on the conception of the cross-layer routingprotocol that is implemented in TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) wireless mesh networks basedMAC protocol.
