Mobile Ad Hoc Networks: Energy-Efficient Real-Time Data Communications

by Bulent Tavli, Wendi Heinzelman

Overview

This book presents the Time Reservation using Adaptive Control for Energy Efficiency (TRACE) family of prool architectures that provide such dynamic coordinated channel access in a distributed manner, enabling energy-efficient, real-time data communications in MANETs. Furthermore, this book provides an introduction to the fundamentals of MANETs, an overview of prools for each layer of the prool stack, and a discussion of the issues involved with energy-efficient prool design and quality of service for real-time data transmission.
