A minimum transmission energy consumption routing protocol for user-centric wireless networks

In this paper, we propose a minimum transmission energy consumption (MTEC) routing protocol that reduces energy consumption and prolongs network lifetime in user-centric wireless networks. MTEC is proposed for selecting the minimum transmission energy consumption path for data transmission based on the proportion of successful data transmissions, the number of channel events, the remaining node energy of nodes, and the traffic load of nodes. The simulation results showed that our proposed MTEC provided better packet delivery rate and throughput than DSR and TSA. MTEC also exhibited lower energy consumption during data transmission and a higher network lifetime than existing protocols.
