Abstract

In ad hoc networks, designing an energy-efficient routing protocol is critical since nodes are power-constrained. The PCCB (power cost calculate balance) routing protocol is proposed. The basic idea of PCCB is to utilize the "local multicast" mechanism and the energy-boundary to select the route. Simulations show that the PCCB routing protocol can optimize power utilization and improve transmitting ratio. A PCCB network has a better performance than an AODV network. The PCCB routing protocol is feasible for the energy-constrained character of mobile ad hoc networks.
