Interference-based Topology Control Algorithm for Delay-constrained Mobile Ad hoc Networks

Abstract

Conserving energy consumption is a major issue for ad hoc network deployment.
Instead of using the maximum transmission power, nodes in a wireless ad hoc network
collaboratively determine their transmission powers and hence the network topology is
defined. In wireless communications, interference is a fundamental problem. The
interference may result in collisions and consequently data retransmissions at the medium
access layer. As a result, the network throughput degrades and the delay increases, due to
packet retransmissions
