Abstract
A routing method in consideration of the power and transmission delay in a wireless ad hoc network and a terminal device adopting the same are provided, which can reduce the power consumption and packet delay by considering both the power consumption and packet delay. The terminal device includes a judgment unit that determines whether a first accumulative hop count included in a first route request (RREQ) packet exceeds a predetermined route decision value for limiting a hop count from a source node to a destination node, and a control unit that determines a route to the source node, based on information included in the first RREQ packet, if the judgment unit determines that the first accumulative hop count does not exceed the route decision value.
