Abstract
In wireless networks, transmission power control (TPC) can save energy and decrease transmission latency. Due to the characteristics of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the TPC has to be distributed, which presents a significant design challenge. We propose a simple distributed approach to TPC in this paper, and evaluate its performance.
