Show moreThe ad hoc wireless network is an infrastructureless network, where mobile stations are typically powered by batteries. Energy conservation has therefore becomes a very important issue. In this thesis, we discuss our work on several problems in energy-efficient routing. Chapter 3 focuses on how to compute the minimum uniform broadcast transmission power in an ad hoc wireless network. Several algorithms are proposed and their running time compared through simulation. It is shown that Prim's Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) has better performance than Kruskal's MST and the two binary search algorithms. In the following two chapters, routing algorithms are studied for specific situations, when directional antenna is used (Chapter 4) or when partial signal could be collected, stored and integrated (Chapter 5). Different algorithms are discussed and their energy performance illustrated by simulation study. Their application and limitation are also discussed in the thesis.
