Abstract
This paper proposes a local power saving algorithm combined with a power-aware routing scheme to provide energy-efficient operation of the network. The power saving algorithm reduces communication energy consumption whereas the power aware routing scheme increases node lifetime. Another objective of the proposed routing strategy is the selection of stable paths in order to achieve robust network operation; to accomplish this scope a new routing metric is presented combining the residual energy level of nodes with an estimation of the stability of links. Simulation studies indicate a reduction in energy consumption and a significant increase in node lifetime whereas the network performance (delivery ratio and routing overhead) is not affected significantly.
