Kunz: Accurately Predicting Residual Energy Levels in MANETs
Motivation
,QoS
routing in MANETs
–Supports
interesting applications
–Requires
“accurate” state information
,Little
work to quantify accuracy of state information
–QoS
routing protocols exist
–State information aggregation discussed for LARGE wired
networks, including loss of information (ATM, hierarchical
networks, etc.)
–Some
work on quantifying amount and accuracy of topology information
–Existing
evidence seems to suggest that
,More
accurate state information results in “better” routing decisions
,More
accurate state information is difficult to collect
,We
are interested in energy-efficient routing, a key piece of state information
is the residual energy level of nodes
