Abstract

Energy efficiency is critical to ensuring scalability, embedding, and portability of emerging computing and communication systems. It is of particular interest in the design of mobile computing systems because of the limitations in energy and power availability. This paper presents and compares in terms of energy efficiency two strategies for the dynamic selection of the outbound interface on multi-radio devices in wireless ad-hoc networks. Findings from the studies show that intelligent selection of communication interface in heterogeneous ad-hoc networks leads to more efficient use of the energy consumed while assuring the quality of service parameters necessary for the correct provision of applications running on top of wireless ad-hoc mobile networks.
