Abstract

We develop an initial dynamic power-conscious routing scheme (MPR) that incorporates physical layer and link layer statistics to conserve power, while compensating for the channel conditions and interference environment at the intended receiver. The aim of MPR is to route a packet on a path that will require the least amount of total power expended and for each node to transmit with just enough power to ensure reliable communication. We evaluate the performance of MPR and present our preliminary results
