3. Introduction – Power Concerns  The lifetime of a network is defined as the time it takes for a fixed percentage of the nodes in a network to die out.  Portability of wireless nodes being critical its almost mandatory to keep the battery sizes to a bare necessary  Since battery capacity is fixed, a wireless mobile node is extremely energy constrained  Hence all network related transactions should be power aware to be able to make efficient use of the overall energy resources of the network

4. Traditional routing metrics  Aims to minimize hop counts and propagation delay  Fails to take into account the power usage of nodes  Results in poor lifetime of networks

5. Energy Models  Capture the effect of the limited energy reserves of mobile devices (i.e. batteries)  Models the power levels of the device during operation so that total energy consumption can be calculated  A number of different models are used in the literature  Transmission Power Model  Transmission & Reception Model  Power State Model

6. Transmission Power Model  Assumes energy consumption is directly related to wireless output power  Output power in typical cards range from 1mW to 200mW  Output power is related to the square of range  Cutting transmission range in half cuts output power requirement by ¼  This means by choosing shorter hops, the total output power can be reduced (¼ + ¼ < 1)  Used by many papers (particularly theory papers)  Minimum energy routing  Minimum energy broadcast  Topology control  Flawed model ignores MANY sources of energy consumption  Fixed transmission consumption overhead  Consumption by receiver  Consumption by idle nodes

7. Transmission & Reception Model  Energy consumption depends on the number of packets sent & received  Energy consumption of a packet is calculated using several constants  Not very commonly used  Increased accuracy but still missing a significant contribution to energy consumption (idle power)

8. Power State Model  Uses different power levels depending on state of wireless card  Transmit (1.33 Watts)  Receive (0.97 Watts)  Idle (0.84 Watts)  Sleep (0.07 Watts)  Based on measurements of a real wireless card on lab equipment  Captures the majority of card power consumption effects (most accurate model in general use)  Measured values only apply for the exact model of card  Does not take into account transient consumption from mode switches  Does not take into account power consumption of host (i.e. from packet processing)  Usually assumes fixed output power (not normally used with transmission power control)

10. Receiving Power Example

11. Different Transmit Options RF Transmit Power (mW)

12. Sleep Mode  High consumption while active  High transmit power constant  High idle & receive power  Sleep mode allows much of the electronics to be turned off  Radio cannot send or receive packets  Can be activated again by host in a small amount of time  SIGNIFICANTLY lower power levels (0.07 Watts)  Only protocols that make extensive use of sleep mode can save a large fraction (>50%) of the card power consumption  Sleep mode limit = <90% savings  Transmit power control limit = <<35% savings

13. Power Aware Metrics Intuition: Conserve power and share cost of routing packets to ensure increase in life of node and network Metrics: 1. Minimize energy consumed / packet 2. Maximize time to Network Partition 3. Minimize variance in node power levels 4. Minimize cost / packet 5. Minimize maximum node cost

14. 1. Minimize energy consumed / packet Definitions:  T(a,b) = energy consumed in transmitting and receiving one packet over one hop from a to b - e j = Σ k-1 i=1 T(n i, n i+1 ) = total energy spent for packet j over k hops Goal: - Minimize e j for all packets j Note: - In lightly loaded networks this automatically finds shortest hop path - In heavily loaded networks due to contention it might not be shortest - The use of “energy/packet” alone as a cost may result in wide variations of node power consumption

15. 2. Maximize time to network partition Definition: - Cut Set: set of nodes that divide the network into two partitions As soon as one node in the set dies the delay experienced increases Goal: - To balance load of the nodes in the Cut Set to maximize network life Problems: - The problem is similar to scheduling tasks to multiple servers so that the response time is minimized, which is known to be NP-complete

16. 3. Minimize variance in all node power levels Goal: - To keep all nodes up and running together for as long as possible Concept: - Build a route that takes into account the amount of data waiting to be transmitted in all the intermediate nodes Merit: - Achieve some kind of load balancing to ensure similar rates of dissipation of energy throughout the network

17. 4. Minimize cost / packet Definition: We associate a cost f i (x i ) with each node i. Thus total cost of sending packet j: c j = Σ k-1 i=1 f i (x i ) Where, - x i is the total energy dissipated by node i till now (thus far) - f i (x i ) is the cost of node i. - Intuitively, f i (x i ) indicates a node’s reluctance to forward packets (i.e. It is highly reluctant if the cost is high, when the expended energy so far is high). Goal: - Minimize c j

18. 4. Minimize cost / packet (contd.) Advantage: - The remaining batter power level is incorporated into the routing decision - This also balances load by avoiding usage of weak nodes in presence of stronger ones - The routing starts like shortest path routing, then the routes start to get longer as the metric kicks-in to route around nodes that are reluctant to route (because they expended their energy during the shortest path mode).

19. 5. Minimize maximum node cost Definition: - C i (t) = cost of routing a packet through node i at time t - Ĉ(t) = maximum of the C i (t)’s Goal: - Minimize Ĉ(t), for all t > 0 Merits: - Delays node failure - Reduces variance in node power levels

20. Power-Aware Source Routing (PSR)  This is a Reactive (On demand) protocol based on DSR  This Cost function takes into account both transmission power and remaining battery power  RREQ broadcast is initiated by source  Intermediate nodes can reply to RREQ from cache as in DSR  If there is no cache entry, receiving a new RREQ an intermediate node does the following:  Starts a timer  Keeps the path cost in the header as Min-cost  Adds its own cost to the path cost in the header and broadcast  On receiving duplicate RREQ an intermediate node re-broadcasts it only if the following is true:  The timer for that RREQ has not expired  The new path cost in the header is less than Min-cost  Destination also waits for a specific time after the first RREQ arrives  It then replies to the best seen path in that period and ignores others that come later  The path cost is added to the reply and is cached by all nodes that hear the reply

21. PSR Route Maintenance  Node mobility: Connections between some nodes on the path are lost due to their movement. In this case a new RREQ is issued and the corresponding entry in the cache is purged.  Energy Depletion: Energy of some intermediate node maybe depleting very quickly. This can be addressed in two ways:  Semi-global approach:  Here the source monitors the remaining battery level of the path by periodically polling the intermediate nodes  Local approach:  Each intermediate node is allowed to send back a route error at time t if its battery level is too low

22. PSR vs DSR – Simulation on NS(2)  Test bed of 20 nodes confined in 1000 x 1000 m^2 area  Range of each node is 250 m  100 reliable and random ftp connections  Average duration of connection is 20 sec  Total simulation time 10000 sec  Speed of movement is 10 m/s  Random mobility with pause time of 4 sec

23. PSR vs DSR – network lifetime

24. Local Energy-Aware Routing (LEAR)  Aims to balance energy consumption with shortest routing delays  Takes into account a node’s willingness to participate in the routing path which is based on its remaining battery power  Destination does not wait to reply –> non-blocking  Efficient use of route cache

25. The basic LEAR Algorithm Source uses a sequence number for new request If it gets no reply back it increases the sequence number and re-broadcasts

26. LEAR – Simulation on GloMoSim  Test bed of 40 nodes confined in 1000 x 1000 m^2 area  Range of each node is 250 m  5 Constant Bit Rate source and destination pair chosen  1024 byte packets sent every sec for a specified duration  Total simulation time 500 sec  Random waypoint mobility  Speed of movement is 5 m/s  Pause time is varied from 50 to 400 sec  Simulation results shown next are average of 100 runs  Initial Threshold value set to 90% of node’s initial power  The value of adjustment ‘d’ is taken as 0.1 or 0.4

27. LEAR – Standard Deviation of energy distribution Energy Consumption measured at radio layer 35% improved energy balance with high mobility (50 sec pause time) 10% improvement with moderate mobility (400 sec pause time) The ‘d’ value does not affect much

28. LEAR – Ratio of accepted ROUTE_REQ Ratio = total route_reqs accepted / total route_reqs received Even DSR does not have 100% ratio due to TTL ‘d’ = 0.1 drops requests more frequently due to lower adjustment

29. Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) In this we consider a micro-sensor network where: 1. The base station is fixed and located far from sensors 2. All nodes are homogeneous and energy constrained Key features of LEACH: 1. Localized coordination and control for cluster setup and operation 2. Randomized rotation of the cluster heads and the corresponding clusters.

30. Data Transmission  Radios of non-heads are off when its not transmitting, to preserve energy.  When all data has been received from all the nodes the head performs signal processing to compress the data into a single signal  This is then send directly to the base station by a high energy transmission.
