A novel approach for energy-aware management of sensor networks that maximizes the life of the sensors while maintaining desired quality of service attributes related to sensed data delivery is presented. This approach is to dynamically set routes and arbitrate medium access to minimize energy consumption and maximize sensor life. It presents a brief overview of the dynamic source routing and describes a TDMA based medium access control protocol (MAC).Hence the proposed APCRP-MAC
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
