…are intermediate nodes. en, the energy consumed for
all transmissions for packet j is e
j
= (n

), where i is from 1 to k;
the goal is to minimize the e
j
.
2. Maximize time to network partition: As soon as one node
in the path dies, the network is said to be partitioned, and
the power consumed for each of these networks will be more.
erefore, the aim is to maximize the partition time.
3. Minimize the variance in node power levels: e idea is to
treat all nodes as important nodes and balance the node
energy level equally.
4. Minimize cost per packet: Choose the path into nodes as inter-
mediate nodes, which have enough energy to reduce the cost.
Energy-efficient multicast routing protocols have the follow ...
