This letter proposes a routing scheme to send a data set in units of bits rather than bits/s by considering the predefined transfer time, the period within which the data set should be transferred from the source node to the destination node, to minimize the energy consumed. The energy consumption is minimized with an optimal transfer time. The results show that routing at the optimal transfer time is, for the data set being sent, able to reduce energy consumption at least 7.7% for the networks examined.
