Abstract
A protocol combining spatial and time reservation with power control Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol in mobile Ad Hoc networks was presented. It could efficiently utilize the available channel resource along with the spatial as well as time dimension,and improve channel spatial reuse through avoiding collision. The proposed protocol embedded the spatial and time reservation requirements in the PHY header,and transmitted them at the lowest data rate to a larger group of neighbors,and thus avoided collisions. By decreasing the transmission power of the data packet,the energy consumption of mobile nodes was decreased. Simulation results indicate that compared to IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol,the proposed protocol can improve the throughput performance and decrease the power consumption greatly and improve the energy utilization of mobile terminals while avoiding collision.
