Abstract

We present new power distribution schemes on an active route in wireless ad hoc networks, with the objective of maximizing connection lifetime against node mobility. Through experiments with each of the proposed power distribution schemes, we obtain a description of the relationship between control traffic overhead and their expected gains in connection lifetime, as well as an understanding of the influence of various system parameters (e.g. connection size, node density, and power budget size) on this relationship.
