摘要：The main focus of this research is to show that several existing schemes can degrade network throughput and can result in higher energy consumption than when using IEEE 802.11 without power control. This work proposes a new power controlled MAC protocol based on IEEE 802.11.It saves considerable amount of power and achieves the performance matching with that of IEEE 802.11. The implementation of power control MAC in publicly available Network Simulator NS-2 is presented, and simulation results are discussed. The scope of this work is limited to distributed multi-hop networks to a large extent. The effect of node mobility is not considered.
