Based on Energy-Efficient Opportunistic Multicast Routing for Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Energy-efficient is one of the main problems among all the problems in mobile wireless sensor networks, for improving the energy efficiency of the nodes in the multicast environment and complete the communication works with the minimum cost, we present a based on energy-efficient opportunistic multicast routing for mobile wireless sensor networks. In order to increase the reliability of links, we use opportunistic routing and collaboration mechanism to realize the routing method, and then use the path aggregation to reduce the energy consumption of the whole network. The results of simulation show that, the method presented in this paper is effective in reducing the consumption of links cost.
