A Vision of Energy Management Schemes in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

Energy Management in wireless ad hoc networks is a critical issue as energy resources are limited at the electronic devices used. Thus, energy efficient routing protocols are essential in wireless ad hoc networks to improve the life of network. This paper focuses on basic fundamentals and the classification of energy management schemes like, battery management system, transmission power management, and system power management schemes. After that we present power aware routing, sleep scheduling, and globalized approach for power managements. Through this study, we lay a foundation for further research on enhancements in extending the operational lifetime of an ad hoc wireless network.
