ABSTRACT:
Techniques for implementing sleep scheduling in a distributed network environment are described. The sleep scheduling attempts to optimize routing of communication among nodes of the distributed network, while still conserving energy by allowing nodes to occasionally transition to sleep mode. The sleep scheduling is performed as a function of the number of awake neighboring nodes.
