Abstract:
Energy consumption of communication systems is becoming a fundamental issue and among all the sectors, wireless access networks are largely responsible for the increase in consumption. With this increasing demand for energy in wireless field related with the increase in carbon dioxide levels in the environment produced by wireless devices in the idle mode, it is very essential to develop the technology that reduce energy consumption. In this context, Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are commonly considered as the most suitable architecture because of their versatility that allows flexible configurations. Different studies have proposed number of protocols in different layers of TCP/IP model to enhance transmission of data. Very few of these protocols envisage node energy. This paper mainly focuses on classification layer of the largest existing approaches dedicated to energy conservation.
