A comprehensive power-aware approach to improved DSR

Energy saving has been heated topic for years for Ad Hoc network. This paper presents a comprehensive power-aware approach to DSR (CP-DSR) in terms of the shortcomings of current solution of lacking comprehensive energy saving strategy. In routing level, enhancement is implemented for current energy saving algorithm, and power control is carried out during data transmission to reduce energy. Experimental results demonstrate the advantages of the proposed method over previous solutions.
