What is Energy aware routing protocol

Chapter 4
Handbook of Research on Developments and Trends in Wireless Sensor Networks: From Principle to Practice
It is a routing protocol that uses some information about power energy characteristics to take its routing decisions. Some of the more commons energy power features used by these protocols are: the amount of battery power spent by sending a message to a node, the amount of battery power spent by sending a message through a specific path, or the remaining battery power of a node.

Abstract
This chapter presents a survey of the main aspects of QoS that are being used on the Wireless Sensor Networks technology world. We describe approaches based on traditional networks, as well as new approaches that face with resources limitation, which is one of the main characteristics of WSN nodes. This chapter also describes how QoS management creates a series of challenges to deal with, and how some QoS features could be used to enable users to make a better profit of their resource limitations. In our opinion, an exposition of these topics will improve the set of techniques and strategies that designers and programmers could use to develop and implement satisfactory services level to their applications in WSNs.
