Abstract Efficient energy conservation plays an important role in the performance of wireless Ad hoc networks because the nodes in such networks are usually equipped with battery. In order to reduce energy consumption in the network, a TPR (Topology-based Power-aware Routing) protocol is proposed. By using the character that more hops can save more energy in wireless transmission, the TPR protocol builds power-efficient-topology in the one hop of nodes, and utilizes this topology to control the process of route discovery, then sets up energy-efficient route. Simulation results indicate that the TPR protocol can conserve more energy, and balance the performance of route overhead, route discovery time, end to end delay etc.
