Abstract
Since some or all the nodes in a mobile ad-hoc network (manet)
rely on batteries for their energy, one of the most important design criteria
for a wireless network may be that of power conservation. This paper attempts a
critical appreciation of the routing algorithm suggested by Chang and Tassiulas.
They formulate routing in a power-controlled wireless network as an optimization
problem with the goal of maximizing the time until the batteries of the nodes
drain out. To this end, they propose that traffic be routed such that the energy
consumption is balanced among the nodes in proportion to their energy reserves,
instead of routing to minimize the absolute consumed power.
