In this paper, we present a MMPR (Minimizing the Maximum Used Power Routing) Algorithm in a MANET (Mobile ad hoc network) by modifying the route selection algorithm in well-known routing MANET protocol. In the previous route selection algorithms, the metric for cost function is the minimal hop which does not consider the energy status. MMPR uses the metric with used energy The node that want to know the route for some destination begins calculating the route cost function with alpha which is the maximum used energy in the known route. If the new route that contains the node whose used energy is greater than previous known alpha is known to the node that want to send a packet in some moment, the probability of selecting the new route is lower. Experimental results with MMPR show higher performance in both the maximum used energy and the number of dead nodes than that of the CMMBCR (Conditional Max-Min Battery Routing).

MANET(Mobile Ad Hoc Network)이란 어떠한 기반 구조나 중앙의 관리없이 동적으로 임시 네트워크를 형성하는 무선 mobile node의 집합이다. 이 논문에서는 MANET에서 근원지 node가 목적지 node로의 route를 발견하기 위해 전체 네트워크를 대상으로 route request 패킷을 flooding 할 경우 결과적으로 네트워크의 성능을 저하시킨다는 점과 mobile node가 제한된 양의 power를 가지고 있다는 점에 초점을 맞추어 연구가 진행되었다. 다시 말해 이 논문에서 제안된 ZTPA 라우팅 프로토콜은 기존의 ZRP를 기본으로 서로 겹치지 않는 격자 모양의 zone으로 네트워크가 구성된다. 또한 proactive 라우팅이 이루어지는 IARP에서 route 설정시 현재 node에 남아있는 power를 고려한 CMMBCR 라우팅 프로토콜이 사용되며 이와 더불어 두 개의 임계치(SVSZ, FVSZ)를 사용함으로써 설정된 route의 수명을 연장하고 신뢰성 있는 데이터 전송이 가능하여 전체적인 네트워크의 성능 향상을 야기할 수 있다.

Generally, the mobile nodes in MANET have the limited power capacity available for actual communications. Thus, the power management is very important for packet routing or forwarding. Although MTPR, MBCR and MMBCR are proposed to treat the problem of power consumption, there have been few researches resolving the link breakdown that is occurred by the power exhaustion during transmission. In this sense, the reliable scheme should be required to ensure the routing connectivity. In this paper, we propose three schemes to enforce the routing connectivity. If the signal strength is dropped below a signal threshold, the candidate route is previously selected to prepare the link breakdown. Also, on multi-channel, we propose the lifetime increment scheme of a node that it manage its available power to the needed power of a new link. The simulation results show the enforcement of the link connectivity and the performance improvements of the delay time through the effective connection management.
