Proactive routing based distributed energy consumption

Energy consumption in mobile network might be excessive for some nodes acting as relays in OLSR network than others. This might have a considerable consequence on the network lifetime. Our approach is presented in the EDCR protocol. It is an extended version of OLSR which aims to increase the residual energy of the network by distributing forwarding tasks between MPRs. For that, we change the MPR procedure selection in order to favor nodes with the largest number of MPR-selector. Our hypothesis is experienced under NS2 and effectively results on less energy consumption.
