CROSS-LAYER PROTOCOL DESIGN METHOD FOR ENERGY-EFFICIENT ROUTING IN POWER-CONTROLLED MULTIHOP WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

The present invention uses a new algorithm for re-routing request routing (RREQ) instead of carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA / CA) in the media access control (MAC) layer of each wireless terminal. In addition, the media access control layer and the network layer are designed to be integrated. Therefore, power consumption in the entire wireless network can be minimized, thereby increasing the duration of each connection.
