This thesis presents several techniques that enhance the performance of wireless mobile
devices that communicate without depending on a supporting infrastructure. These networks …

Recently, power control in mobile ad hoc networks has been the focus of extensive
research. Its main objectives are to reduce the total energy consumed in packet delivery …

This study investigates the potential of using transmission power control in wireless packet
networks with differing number of hops between source and destination nodes. Here we …

Transmit power control is a prototypical example of a cross-layer design problem. The
transmit power level affects signal quality and, thus, impacts the physical layer, determines …

Power control for mobile ad hoc networks has received increasing interest from the research
community. Power control can be invoked to achieve different objectives, including the most …

We introduce a new power control scheme, for IEEE 802.11-like MAC protocols. Our scheme
carefully combines collision avoidance and spatial reuse. Although many power control …

An ad hoc wireless network with n nodes and m source-destination pairs, using a
scheduling based medium access control (MAC) protocol such as time division multiple …

In this paper, we propose a comprehensive solution for power control in mobile ad hoc
networks (MANETs). Our solution emphasizes the interplay between the MAC and network …

Transmission power control (TPC) has a great potential to increase the throughput of a
mobile ad hoc network (MANET). Existing TPC schemes achieve this goal by using …

Due to energy constraints on mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), networking protocols try to
reduce energy consumption on the communication. Transmission power control (TPC) is …
