Extending system lifetime by effectively managing power on participating nodes is critical in wireless ad hoc networks. Recent work has shown that, by appropriately powering off nodes, energy may be significantly saved up to a factor of two, especially when node density is high. Such approaches rely on the selection of a virtual backbone (i.e., a connected dominating set) of the topology to forward ongoing traffic, coupled with algorithms to manually and periodically recompute such a backbone for load balancing purposes. The common drawback of such schemes is the need to involve periodic message exchanges and to make additional restrictive assumptions. This paper presents Odds1, an integrated set of energy-efficient and fully distributed algorithms for power management in wireless ad hoc networks. Odds build on the observation that explicit and periodic re-computation of the backbone topology is costly with respect to its additional bandwidth overhead, especially when nodes are densely populated or highly mobile. Building on a fully probabilistic approach, Odds seek to make a minimum overhead, perfectly balanced, and fully localized decision on each node with respect to when and how long it needs to enter standby mode to conserve energy. Such a decision does not rely on periodic message broadcasts in the local neighborhood, so that Odds are scalable as node density increases. Detailed mathematical analysis, discussions and simulation results have shown that Odds are indeed able to achieve our objectives while operating in a wide range of density and traffic loads.
