Abstract

Thanks to the highly popular dual channel capabilities (e.g., GSM plus Bluetooth) in modern handheld personal communication devices, an integrated cellular and ad hoc peer-to-peer network (i.e., a quasi-ad hoc wireless network) has already been widely reckoned as a readily practicable and attractive mobile computing environment. In this paper, we propose a co-operative relaying scheme, called eeRelay, for such a quasi-ad hoc network, to extend the life-time of low energy level users significantly. More importantly, the energy efficiency of the whole network is also remarkably increased.
