Summary :

Ad hoc networks are becoming an interesting research area, as they inherently support unique network applications for the wireless communications in a rugged environment, which requires rapid deployment and is difficult to be provided by an infrastructure network. Many issues need to be addressed for the ad hoc networks. In this paper, we propose an efficient distributed coordination function on the media access control protocol to enhance the power conservation of mobile hosts by using a power control algorithm and the network throughput of an ad hoc network by using an algorithm for simultaneous frame transmissions. Extensive simulation is studied to evaluate the improvement of the proposed method. The results of the simulation exhibit significant improvement to the standard access control protocol. With slight improvement of network throughput, up to 85% of the consumed energy was able to be saved in compared to the standard protocol and up to 7 times of the energy efficiency was enhanced with the proposed method.
