Abstract

Power-aware routing in wireless ad hoc networks has been extensively explored in recent years, and various routing metrics were developed for the prolongation of network lifetime. This work studies power-aware routing so as to maximize the minimum remaining energy of all nodes after routing. This routing metric, referred to as Maximum-Residual Routing, aims at maintaining the minimum remaining energy as high as possible so as to delay the fist failure time of nodes in the network. In this paper, a polynomial-time optimal algorithm is proposed for Maximum-Residual Multicasting. We then show that Maximum-Residual Aggregating is \({\mathcal{NP}}\)-hard and that, unless \({\mathcal{P = NP}},\) its minimization version cannot be approximated within a ratio better than (2 − ε) for any ε > 0. The proposed routing algorithm for Maximum-Residual Multicasting can be applied to existing routing protocols, especially those based on the link-state approach. The capability of the algorithm was evaluated by a series of experiments, for which we have very encouraging results in network lifetime and load balance.
