Abstract-Transmission power control (TPC) has the potential to reduce power consumption in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). However, despite a multitude of existing protocols, they still face significant challenges in real-world deployments. A practical TPC protocol must be robust against complex and dy namic wireless properties, and efficient for resource-constrained sensors. This paper presents P-TPC, a practical TPC protocol designed on control-theoretic techniques. P-TPC features a highly efficient controller designed on a dynamic model that combines a theoretical link model with online parameter estimation. P TPC's robustness and energy savings are demonstrated through trace-driven simulations and real-world experiments in a campus building and residential environments.
Another control theory based transmission power control scheme is proposed in REF where the authors design a dynamic control model that combines a theoretical link model with online parameter estimation.
