Performance Measures of Stream-Oriented Power Consumption for Asymmetrical Communication in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks

Abstract

Power consumption control in mobile ad-hoc networks is one of the most important issues for enabling a guaranteed quality of service in end-to-end transmissions. However recent power consumption control techniques have not yet associated the power control of a wireless device with the content delivery. This means that all transmissions are treated in the same way, which is disastrous in the case of delay sensitive contents in end-to-end connections. In this work the packet stream of a delay sensitive content is modeled and associated with the prioritization of the packets and their spatiotemporal delays. Depending on each stream's characteristics at a certain time, a nonlinear communication model is proposed. Adjacent-neighboring nodes with certain transmission power associate their data delay with nodes' capacity measures during data revocation. Following a real time scenario each node has fading characteristics in an entirely asymmetric communication. Performance evaluation results show the efficiency of the proposed model as well as its capabilities under different fading conditions
