Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to generalize and improve a recently proposed forwarding technique based on the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT). The proposed technique outperforms more traditional approaches in terms of both energy efficiency and fair distribution of energy consumption, and requires very few changes to the commonly used forwarding schemes for its implementation. In particular, in this paper it is shown how to apply the CRT-based forwarding method on a realistic wireless network where unreliable erasure channels are considered together with topological changes. Furthermore, an analytical model for the novel forwarding technique has been derived and the trade-off between reliability and energy saving has been investigated.
