Abstract. Providing energy efficiency in MAC (Medium Access Control) layer, while achieving desirable throughput, is an important research issue in the area of wireless networking....
— As broadcasting is widely used for miscellaneous maintenance operations in wireless ad hoc networks, where energy is a scarce resource, an efficient broadcasting protocol is o...
This paper is motivated by the observation that current research in ad hoc networks mostly assumes a physically flat network architecture with the nodes having homogeneous charact...
— This paper presents the ALCA (Asymmetric Link Collision Avoidance) protocol. ALCA was designed to deal with a known deficiency of the Basic Scheme [1] for power control in 802...
This paper analyzes the energy consumption of ad hoc nodes using IEEE 802.11 interfaces. Our objective is to provide theoretical limits on the lifetime gains that can be achieved b...
