Proposed
Solution: PIES - Characteristics
lAchieves fair energy conservation by:
oPutting nodes to sleep for equal time periods
oProviding the routing algorithm with energy threshold
info to help it make fair
energy conscious decisions
lFully distributed algorithm – functionality does not depend on a node or a set of nodes
lModular nature – easily integrated with existing routing algorithms
lAbility to determine with certainty neighbors’ sleep state
lConfigurable in such a way that introduces no additional traffic to the network
