Energy equalizing routing protocol implementing method in Ad Hoc network

2008 
The invention discloses a method for implementing energy-equilibrium routing protocol in an Ad Hoc network. The invention provides a real-time reference value of average residual network energy for each node in the process of route discovery so that nodes with plenty of energy directly participate into route discovery while whether over-used nodes participate into forwarding groups depends on the quantity of route request groups received in the delayed time. The method, without increasing extra control groups, leads all intermediate nodes to decide whether to participate into route discovery through rational estimate of the average energy of the entire network, thereby effectively protecting over-used nodes and, as the terminal effect, prolonging the life cycle and improving the performance of the network.
