Power Control in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks for Energy Efficient Routing with Capacity Maximization

摘要

In wireless ad hoc networks, energy-constrained operation is very important due to the limited battery capacity. One of the reasons for excessive energy expenditure in this network is irregularly distributed node pattern which imposes large interference range on a certain area. In this paper, we present a simple and energy efficient on-demand routing scheme by using discrete level of power control and priority based packet scheduling, With little additional routing overhead, the proposed scheme provides better way to deliver data than existing routing protocols which use fixed transmission power.
