The study on spatial reuse efficiency of network nodes using advanced power control algorithm

Abstract

An algorithm to minimize power consumption while keeping network throughput such as distributed power control, PCM(power control MAC), and F-PCF(fragmentation based PCM) was suggested to reduce power consumption through power control up to the present. A potential spatial for communication of surrounding nodes was generated as such power control method was planned to make optimal transmit power in order to minimize power consumption. But, potential spatial for communication generated through power control had not yet been utilized appropriately as an algorithm focused on power consumption. This study suggested an algorithm that advanced lots of network throughput by using potential spatial for communication generated by power control. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
