Protocol and Performance Analysis"

We propose and analyze an energy-aware traffic-adaptive routing strategy for large-scale mobile ad hoc networks.
Referred to as Energy-Aware GEolocation-aided Routing (EAGER), this protocol optimally blends proactive
and reactive strategies for energy efficiency. Specifically, EAGER partitions the network
into cells and performs intra-cell proactive routing and inter-cell reactive routing.
The cell size and transmission range are optimized analytically.
By adjoining cells around the hot spots and the hot routes in the network, EAGER is capable of handling
time-varying and spatially heterogeneous traffic conditions and QoS requirements.
