Abstract
This study investigates the potential of usingtransmission power control in wireless packet net works withdiffering number of hops between source and destination.Here we exploit the benefits of power control in the contextof multi-hop wireless ad hoc type networks with a distribu-ted media access control.For our investigations we chooseseveral general ad hoc network topologies and studied theeffect of power control with respect to energy consumptionand network capacity.We show that power control large-ly improves the network capacity and energy savings in allinvestigated scenarios, and that utilizing a greater numberof intermediate hops between base source and destinationimproves the energy savings, but often causes a tradeoff incapacity, depending on the network topology scenarios.Keywords
