A Simple Battery Aware Gossip Based Sleep Protocol for Densely Deployed Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks
Abstract
Conserving power in mobile ad-hoc and sensor networks is a big challenge. Most of the nodes in these networks, in general, are battery powered, therefore, an efficient power saving protocol is required to extend the lifetime of such networks. A lot of work has been done and several protocols have been proposed to address this problem. Gossip based protocols, which are based on the results of percolation theory, significantly reduce power consumption with very little implementation overhead. However, not much work has been done to make gossiping battery aware. In this paper we introduce a simple gossip based battery aware sleep protocol. The protocol allows low battery nodes to sleep more, therefore, improves overall network lifetime.
