Abstract

A method for power saving routing in wireless networks is disclosed. The present invention calculates a distance to a destination node to select and estimate candidate nodes so as to reduce the amount of calculations in the event of routing. Furthermore, the invention repeats the algorithm by optimum value n so that accessibility to the destination node can be obtained. This enables more efficient routing.
