Energy conservation is an important issue for wireless Mesh network. The Quorum energy conserving mechanism, discussed in this article, is quite suitable to wireless Mesh networks because it is insensitive to network scale, host density, mobility and multi-hop. Originally designed for the Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) environment, the Quorum mechanism can work in two modes: synchronous and asynchronous, according to the difficulty of clock synchronization. Currently, the research on Quorum energy conserving systems focuses on energy efficiency optimization and adaptive system. As for other issues, such as the collaboration between synchronous and asynchronous working modes, and the cross-layer design for integrating Quorum mechanism-based energy conservation with power control and MAC routing, there is much research to do.
