Designing energy efficient protocols for ad hoc networks is important since there has been little improvement in the amount of energy stored on these devices. Previous work [1]
—In Ad Hoc networking, cluster-based communication protocol can reduce large amount of flooding packets in route establishment process. However, the 802.11 medium access control ...
This paper investigates the power mode management problem for an IEEE 802.11-based mobile ad hoc network (MANET) that allows mobile hosts to tune to the power-saving (PS) mode. The...
Clustering in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) has shown to be a promising technique to ensure the scalability and efficiency of various communication protocols. Since stations in...
Quorum-based Power Saving (QPS) protocols have been proposed for ad hoc networks (e.g., IEEE 802.11 ad hoc mode) to increase energy efficiency and prolong the operational time of...
