Abstract

This paper analyzes the problem of energy conservation and routing efficiency tradeoff in multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks, which problem is important to understand because it affects routing protocol design issues. This paper presents this tradeoff in more than just qualitative terms. Specific mathematical measure functions of energy conservation and routing efficiency are derived and analyzed for a given propagation environment. The analytical results show that they depend upon each other. Finally, we present the hints given by the analysis results for routing protocol design issues in multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks.
