Abstract

A new routing method for improved quality of service in mobile ad hoc networks is presented. The route selection takes into consideration an estimate for the duration of the transmission, the energy life of each node in the network, and an estimate of the energy consumption on each node along the path. The routing approach guarantees the shortest feasible data transmission subject to the accuracy of estimating the energy-related functions. The worst case time complexity of the proposed method is O(c*m+c*n log n), where c* is the number of different capacities on the links of the network, m is the number of links, and n is the number of nodes in the network. Experimental results are given which support the applicability of the presented approach
