Abstract
B.A.T.M.A.N routing algorithm was originally designed as a better approach to Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET), in order to deal with networks that are based on unreliable links. Mainly, each B.A.T.M.A.N node updates its routing tables based on the received number of small broadcast packets. However, with recent development in mobile technologies, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), Low Power and Lossy Networks (LLNs) are emerging. In order to address the routing problem in these networks, in this paper, we propose a modification to the original B.A.T.M.A.N algorithm. With the main objective of increasing network lifetime, each B.A.T.M.A.N node considers the energy of its neighbors, when updating its routing table. In order to do so, the broadcast packet is equipped with an additional field, which indicates the remaining energy of the node. We explain in details the new algorithm and discuss its advancements and challenges.
