Abstract

In this paper we describe ZETA-NR, a mathematical framework developed for multihop forwarding of packets. ZETA-NR provides proofs for optimal selection of the next relay. The communication model is based on medium access control protocols and energy models. The framework applies either distances between nodes or transmit power levels. We show possibilities to integrate multihop services into routing protocols using a successive approximation procedure. Simulation results indicate reduced energy for communication and improved throughput.
