Conditional Max-Min battery capacity routing
algorithm was proposed in [10]. This algorithm chooses
the route with minimal total transmission power if all
nodes in the route have remaining battery capacities
higher than a threshold; otherwise, routes that consist of
nodes with the lowest remaining battery capacities are
avoided. Several experiments have been performed in
[10] to compare different battery cost-aware routing in
terms of the network lifetime. According to their
reported results, the minimum battery cost routing
exhibited superior results compared to the Min-Max
battery cost routing in terms of the expiration times of
the nodes in the network. Conditional Min-Max routing
showed better or worse results depending on how the
threshold value was chosen.
