Title:
ENERGY AWARE NETWORK MANAGEMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003015452
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
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 re-routing 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.
