Abstract :
We present a protocol and a scheduling algorithm that determine the time interval during which each node with low energy will be powered off (deactivated) to recharge its local energy source. The subnetwork induced each time by the active network nodes must remain connected. A fast algorithm for this scheduling problem is presented and experimental results are given
