Energy-Efficient Schemes - Issues
l Most routing energy-efficient schemes ignored idle energy
consumption in their analysis
l Non-routing energy-efficient schemes suffered one or more
of the following issues:
o No attention given to energy fairness among network nodes
o Unrealistic assumptions e.g. traffic nodes do not forward traffic
o Algorithm design tied to a specific underlying routing strategy
o Large impact on the functionality of the underlying routing
scheme
o No interaction with underlying routing protocol which results in
unnecessary loss of traffic
o Heuristic methodology in determining neighbors’ sleep state
