Battery energy limitation is one of the main challenges in the mobile ad hoc networks. Several hardware and software based techniques have been proposed in this field. Energy aware task scheduling is one of the software methods where the scheduling policy aims at optimizing the energy. Most of the previous work have achieved significant energy savings for individual mobile nodes but did not consider overall network lifetime and scalability.
