A Review of Power Conservation in Wireless Mobile Adhoc Network-MANET
In wireless mobile ad hoc net-works, (MANET), Power
conservation is a critical issue as energy resources are limited at
the electronic devices (Nodes), since each node in a wireless ad
hoc network operates on battery power and battery energy is a
rare resource. The less of energy in nodes can affects the
communication activities in net-work. For MANETs,
optimization of energy consumption has greater impact as it
directly corresponds to lifetime of networks. The various
components of energy related costs include transmission power
as well as the reception power. Power consumption can be
reduced at device level, at transmission level or by using power
aware routing protocol. In this article we give an overview of
various power control approaches and various power saving
techniques that have been proposed in the literature.
