Survey of energy-efficient MAC protocols for Ad hoc networks
Ning Li, Zhiming Wang · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2005
Firstly,the background of using energy-efficient MAC protocols for wireless Ad hoc networks was introduced.Some related issues were discussed,including power-consumption features of wireless network interface devices,several factors that would influence the energy-efficiency,critical principles that must be kept when designing energy-efficient MAC protocols and usual approaches that can be resort to.Then,several typical energy-efficient MAC protocols and techniques were reviewed.Finally,some future research directions and challenges that must be overcome on this topic were investigated.
