Research and Analysis on Energy-Efficient MAC Protocols for Ad Hoc Networks
Lianfen Huang · Modern Electronics Technique · 2007
To solve the problem of inadequate power supply of ad-hoc network nodes,it is necessary to improve the algorithm in the MAC layer.In this paper,several typical MAC layer protocols for Ad Hoc networks are discussed from energy management to power control.We analyze the ability of reducing consumption of these algorithms and also the network performance such as network throughput,transmission delay,and note their advantages as well as the limitations.The conclusions are given in the end.
