A Network Coding-Based Energy-Efficient Multicast Routing in Multi-Hop Wireless Networks

Abstract:

In this paper, an energy-efficient multicast routing algorithm in multi-hop wireless networks is proposed aiming at new generation wireless communications. Different from the previous methods, this paper targets maximizing the energy efficiency of networks. In order to get the optimal energy efficiency to build the network multicast route, our proposed method tries to maximize the network throughput and minimize the network energy consumption by exploiting network coding and sleeping scheme. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better energy efficiency and performance improvements comparing with the existing methods.
