An architecture model for supporting power saving services for mobile ad-hoc wireless networks

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an architecture model for supporting power saving services in mobile ad-hoe wireless networks. The main feature of the proposed power saving architecture is the combination of the following two ideas such as the direction guided transmission for the information transmission using a directional antenna and the receive antenna diversity with maximal ratio combining (MRC) technique. The numerical results show the transmission power can be reduced to 22.47*(N-1) dB, where N mobile nodes within the direction guided transmission area have directional transmit antennas with the half-power beamwidth (HPBW) of radian and two branch receiving diversity in mobile ad-hoc wireless networks.
