Trade-off between Energy Consumption and Transmission Rate in Mobile Ad-Hoc Network

Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks are decentralized systems of mobile nodes where each node is responsible for computing and retaining the routing and topology details. The autonomous nature of the nodes stresses more on the way of handling power consumptions. This raises a concern about how to improve the power efficiency that leads to a better battery life of the mobile nodes. It is important to balance between power and transmission rates to improve the network lifetime and reduce the sudden failure of the nodes. In this paper, a new transmission power control-based scheme is proposed that allows the mobile nodes to achieve a tradeoff between balancing transmission rate and power consumption. Through defining and updating two tables for every node that contain the average transmission rate for the neighboring nodes and number of times the neighboring node is used for data transmission. We validate our proposed scheme using several test cases.
