Strategies that balance the energy consumption of the nodes and ensure maximum network lifetime by balancing the load are proposed and analyzed. Multiple transmission power levels are used. We studied an optimal solution for calculating the hop-by-hop traffic proportions for the particular case of nodes having just two transmission power levels, and compared the results given by the heuristics with those from the optimal analytical case.
