Abstract

In this paper, we focus on energy efficient cooperative routing in wireless mesh networks of cellular base stations. Our aim is to design a cooperative routing algorithm which is sensitive to both, the power consumed in transmitting the message between the base stations and the power consumed in operating the radio electronics. We introduce the concept of supernode with improved power efficiency and propose a power aware cooperative routing algorithm. Simulation results show a significant performance improvement over well known power saving routing schemes.
