Modified Power save Model for Better Energy Efficiency and Reduced Packet Latency
نویسنده
چکیده
Devices constituting wireless ad-hoc networks generally operate in battery power, energy efficiency is a critical research issue. IEEE 802.11 Power Save Mode is a standard recommended for energy efficient operation of wireless ad-hoc networks. When there is no data to transfer, energy is still utilized by IEEE 802.11 PSM during the ATIM window. With this work, an attempt is made to address this drawback with the proposal of a variation in the PSM. Using IEEE 802.11 PSM, each frame travels only one hop during a beacon interval, leading to huge end to end latency and energy consumption. This issue is also addressed and history based prediction method is proposed. According to this method, a data frame can travel many hops from source to destination within a beacon interval. Simulation results using Network Simulator 2 (NS-2) show that the proposed method outperforms IEEE 802.11 PSM with respect to energy efficiency and end to end latency.

Energy efficient protocols are important in ad hoc networks since battery life for wireless devices is limited. The IEEE 802.11 protocol specifies a simple power save mechanism (PSM) to conserve energy. However, the protocol needlessly wastes energy when traffic is light in a network, and significantly increases packet latency. In this paper, we consider three techniques to improve the 802.11 P...

Automatic repeat request (ARQ) schemes are two way packet transmission systems in which a feedback is used to acknowledge (ACK) or not acknowledge (NACK) each packet. If data is received erroneously, retransmission is sought and too many retransmissions in error-prone wireless environments not only create potential latency but also limit the overall bandwidth capacity. But when the channel is i...

Efficient information dissemination is essential for the operation of sensor networks. However, one of the challenges to efficient information dissemination arises from only a random subset of nodes being active in any given time. This is mainly due to sensor networks employing power-saving techniques to compensate the energy constraints of sensor nodes. Specifically, significant delay is incur...
