SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENERGY-CONSCIOUS COMMUNICATION IN WIRELESS AD-HOC NETWORKS

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO2008027310

Kind Code:

B1

Abstract:

The invention relates to a transport protocol and associated methods and stack architectures for improving the energy efficiency of transmitting packets through an ad hoc network. The protocol controls transmissions by taking into account per-packet energy limits, per-node loss tolerances, and/or minimum availability rates determined based on path quality measurements collected by packets traversing the network and application reliability requirements associated with various applications.
