Power Control in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks Crystal Jackson SURE 2005
Outline • Motivation/Background • System description • Simulation model • Results • Conclusion and future work
Background/Motivation • Ad hoc wireless network? • Group of self configuring wireless nodes • Lack infrastructure • Power Control • Important issue • No arbiter • Too much vs. too little • Limited power supply
System Description • Variable-length packets • Data has variable lengths • Larger packets require more energy • Channel Protocol • RTS/CTS/DATA/ACK rules CTS ACK RTS A B
Signal vs. Interference T1 R1 R2 T2
Signal vs. Interference EINR (Energy to Interference plus Noise Ratio) Spreading Factor Received Energy EINR > β Successful Noise Interference and where path loss formula
Power Schemes • Fixed Power • Each node uses a fixed power, Pmax • No calculations • RTS, CTS and DATA • Simple Adaptive Power • Simple calculation • RTS,CTS, and DATA interference margin depends on distance
Power Schemes Distance = 0.7 • Problem Distance = 2.0 16.7W Distance = 1.0 3.6W 19.5.0W 21.9W 15.0W 3.6W 16.7W 3.6W
Power Schemes • Genie-Aided Adaptive Power* • Actual interference used from environment • Iteratively adjust power based on interference values • Power for each node converges to minimum • Update power every time interference environment changes • Only used for DATA transmissions R1 T1 R2 T2 * * T1 RTS DATA R1 CTS ACK SAME * * T2 RTS DATA R2 CTS ACK * T.Elbatt and A.

Simulation Model • Network Layer • Queue • First in First Out • Maximum limit of 50 packets • Routing • Dijkstra’s algorithm to calculate routes with fewest relays • Radius calculated using EINR equation • Packet Generation • Each node generates a packet in a slot with probability p • Randomly selected destination for packet

Results Throughput for Genie-Aided Power Throughput for Simple Adaptive Power
Conclusion • Simple Adaptive power better than fixed • approximately same throughput • 200% increase in throughput efficiency • Genie-Aided Power • significant improvement in throughput over Simple Adaptive • Some increase in throughput efficiency • Impractical to implement • Future Work • Improve Simple Adaptive scheme for better throughput
