A review of medium access protocols for mobile ad hoc networks with transmission power control
The inadequacy of the classical media access protocols for considering the transmitter power as the critical resource and a tunable parameter for increasing the throughput, conserving the battery power, and providing the quality of service for the communication has given a new perception for the power controlled media access protocols in ad hoc networks. This paper presents an insight into the existing work on the power control at the media access level. Various objectives of the power control, distinct approaches, and the issues related to transmission power control are discussed.
