Energy aware network management

摘要

A method of managing a network of sensors in an energy aware manner includes the steps of clustering the sensors to minimize energy consumption, routing the network (step 44 ), modeling the energy available at each sensor (step 45 ), and rerouting the network (step 47 ) when the sensor battery level drops to a predetermined value, or when the energy model is adjusted because it deviates from a sensor's actual energy state.
