Energy Efficient Approach for Emergency Readiness Communications in Wireless Ad-hoc Networks

Ad-hoc networks may exhibit varying characteristics in different environment, which may make the use of various physical layers, network topologies, and nodal mobility´s. Using a simulator it is possible to model and simulate different physical layers, Link / MAC layers, and multi-routing schemes, to compare end-to-end statistics (end-to-end delay, throughput and energy efficiency), andfinally to determine the most energy efficient solution. This paper analyzes the energy consumption aspect for emergency ad-hoc networks. Hence, we propose the energy awareness scheme (Energy Efficient routing-EER) that assimilates the data link layer and physical layer for path loss, fading, ISI (Inter signal interference) at the destination receiver.
