| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 資訊工程學系研究所 === 92 === The standard IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol assumes that each mobile host uses maximum transmission power for the transmission of each packet. However, energy is very valuable resources for mobile host in ad hoc wireless network. In the past, several researches about power control were proposed. These power control schemes use different power levels and one more separate power control channel in order to save energy, avoid occurrence of collision, and increase network channel utilization. But various power levels lead to each mobile host having different transmission power ranges, and cause the additional hidden terminal problem, namely heterogeneous power terminal problem. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a simple and efficient power control protocol that used dynamic adjustment transmission power ranges to reduce power consumption, avoid collision, increase the network channel utilization, and ease heterogeneous power terminal problem as well.
