Abstract :
The focused attention of the community on energy issues in the study and design of wireless networks has spurred a great deal of research on the subject. In this article a brief overview is provided of what constitutes the major energy efficiency issues in ad hoc networks. Emphasis is placed on key conceptual points, which are then illustrated in the case study of wireless multicasting of connection-oriented traffic.
