A Local Synchronization-based Power Management Scheme for a Scalable Ad-hoc Network

Abstract

In this thesis, a power efficient wireless system is presented for a large scale Ad-hoc network. In the proposed system, a whole Ad-hoc network is composed of one or more locally time-synchronized subgroups. All communication links within a subgroup are based on the local time synchronization. For reliable operation of the system, the operation of a node is presented. The power consumption of a node is evaluated by simulation.
