Among all the mentioned constraints, energy consumption is of paramount importance. The network does not maintain standard topology instead, it has dynamic topology. Hence, it necessitates the development of an energy efficient protocol for supporting dynamic topology to increase the lifetime of the network. This study focuses on the development of a hybrid protocol that integrates an energy aware routing over a topology controlled network. To prove the effectiveness of the proposed protocol, a test bed with a multi hop network is deployed and the network lifetime is analyzed under various scenarios.]]>Akyildiz, I.F., W. Su, Y.
