Abstract: The network lifetime often faces great challenges for wireless multi-hop networks since the nodes are typically self-powered in the networks. Intelligent multipoint relays (MPR) selection and energy efficiency have recently been considered to be the major solutions which address to suppress unnecessary messages and reduce energy consumption in the networks, respectively. After extensive studies, a strategy based on Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR), together with residual energy aware multipoint relays selection (SRE-MPR) is proposed in this work. In SRE-MPR, a generic model of energy consumption is introduced where SINR is also taken into account. Simulation results demonstrate that outstanding performance can be achieved in comparison with classical Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR) and Residual Energy-based OLSR (REOLSR2) on the number of alive nodes, throughput and overhead, respectively.
