Abstract

We define a Quality-of-Power-Service (QoPS) metric to evaluate the efficiency of power-aware Unicast routing protocols increase the longevity of ad hoc networks. QoPS metric is applied to different position-based power-aware Unicast routing protocols. Our simulation results confirm that power-relative distribution of data streams in multi-path Unicast routing protocols consume substantially less energy from individual nodes than from other distribution methods and thus increase the network's lifetime. Moreover, the experiments show that multi-path protocols provide excellent scalability.
