Abstract

A new protocol is presented for routing multimedia traffic in an energy-efficient manner in a frequency-hop, store-and-forward, packet radio network. The FH network employs an adaptive-transmission protocol integrated with a distributed, energy-aware routing protocol, based on least-resistance routing. Adaptive transmission gives rise to alternative paths through the network with different energy requirements. The adaptive routing and transmission protocols are designed to exploit the differences in the energy consumption of different routes and the service requirements of the different types of traffic. Results are provided that show that our energy-efficient routing protocol provides good service to the different types of media while conserving energy.
