Abstract :
Many important issues are involved when ad hoc networking is concerned. Energy is certainly one of the most critical aspects. Several solutions for energy saving are proposed in literature. In this work, we focus on the energy saving performed by the distributed power control (DPC), a mechanism that involves routing and MAC layers jointly. Simulations by means of SAM (simple ad hoc simulator) show that in fixed scenarios the energy saving is very high.
