network. e PCCB routing protocol is feasible for the energy-con-
strained character of mobile ad hoc networks.
7.3.2.1 Routing Process of the PCCB Routing Protocol
7.3.2.1.1 Protocol Assumption e following assumptions are made
to simplify the model: (1) A node can get the value of its current
energy, and (2) the links are bidirectional.
7.3.2.1.2 Route Discovery PCCB is a source-initiated on-demand
routing protocol. As a result, nodes that are not on a selected path
do not maintain routing information or participate in routing table
exchanges. e PCCB routing protocol uses the following fields with
route table ...
