Energy aware wireless network protocols

Wireless systems have become an essential tool and provide solutions in everyday personal and business situations in an easy and cost-effective manner. Wireless networking affects a number of fields, including healthcare, environmental, home appliances, education, military applications, among others. In general, designing, developing and testing of an efficient wireless network protocol is a great challenge for the researchers in these areas. Moreover, the development of an application specific protocol in any of these fields depends on various factors including the security, miniaturisation, application constraints, hardware constraints, and energy requirements.
