Power aware routing for the virtual base station on-demand protocol in manets

الملخص EN

Cluster-based protocols establish a dynamic wireless mobile infrastructure to mimic the operation of the fixed infrastructure in cellular networks.

A Clusterhead or a Virtual Base Station (VBS) is elected from a set of nominees to act as a temporary base station within its zone.

In this paper, we describe briefly the Warning Energy Aware Clusterhead (WEAC) infrastructure formation protocol together with the Virtual Base Station On-demand (VBS–O) routing protocol.

Also, we derive a mathematical model describing the VBS–O routing protocol and then derive mathematical equations to estimate the minimum power for to be used for transmission.
