Abstract :
In many applications, wireless mesh networks work by battery as a power source. In this scenario, routing method has a great impact on the network lifetime. In this research a new backbone based wireless mesh network routing method for maximizing lifetime has been proposed. This approach is compatible with the features provided by IEEE standard for wireless mesh networks. In this method, backbone routers are selected based on the maximum remaining energy. The proposed algorithm is compared with optimum and shortest path routing methods. Simulation results show acceptable increase in network lifetime in the proposed approach.
