Ad hoc wireless networks are power constrained since nodes operate with limited battery energy. To maximize the lifetime of these networks (defined by the condition that a fixed percentage of the nodes in the network "Die out" due to lack of energy), network-related transactions through each mobile node must be controlled such that the power dissipation rates of all nodes are nearly the same. Assuming that all nodes start with a finite amount of battery capacity and that the energy dissipation per bit of data and control packet transmission or reception is known, this paper presents a new source-initiated (on demand) routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks that increases the network lifetime.
