The mobile radio networks can be divided into networks that has the base station or the infrastructures like AP(Access Point) and Ad Hoc network that hasn't any infrastructures. As there aren't any fixed infrastructures in Ad Hoc Networks, mobile nodes should transmit the data only among mobile nodes themselves. To supplement these weakpoints of the two networks, many studies about Ad Hocs based on the 802.11 are in progress. In this thesis, we try to propose the efficiency of the suggested protocols by comparing and analyzing power saving protocols according to the Beacon intervals in multi hop Ad Hoc Networks based on IEEE 802.11.

Mobile Ad Hoc Network is a kind of network technology, that mobile hosts can compose networks freely and temporarily where the base networks don't exist and where its establishment is difficult or as occasion demands. Ubiquitous computer network is prograssing in the forms of miniaturization, lightweight or portability. So far, MANET was studied in the point how to route it efficiently, but its power saving problems are been issuing nowadays. We try to not only compare and analyze power saving protocols in multi-hop Ad Hoc network but also present their efficiencies in this thesis.

Quorum-based algorithms are widely used for solving several problems in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and wireless sensor networks (WSN). Several quorum-based protocols are proposed for multi-hop ad hoc networks that each one has its pros and cons. Quorum-based protocol (QEC or QPS) is the first study in the asynchronous sleep scheduling protocols. At the time, most of the proposed protocols were non-adaptive ones. But nowadays, adaptive quorum-based protocols have gained increasing attention, because we need protocols which can change their quorum size adaptively with network conditions. In this paper, we first introduce the most popular quorum systems and explain quorum system properties and its performance criteria. Then, we present a comparative and comprehensive survey of the non-adaptive and adaptive quorum-based protocols which are subsequently discussed in depth. We also present the comparison of different quorum systems in terms of the expected quorum overlap size (EQOS) and active ratio. Finally, we summarize the pros and cons of current adaptive and non-adaptive quorum-based protocols.

It is well known that the biggest problem of wireless sensor networks is power conservation. There have been two major approaches to efficiently use energy in wireless sensor networks. One is to use a dynamic power management scheme and the other is to use energy efficient protocols. In the former, the power manager is responsible for managing the proper power state of CPU and each I/O with respect to the events, but the power manager does not concern about the internal operation of the underlying network protocols. Thus such conventional power managers can waste unpredicted power during communication period. On the other hand, the energy efficient protocols are just focused on the power saving operation of the radio PHY. In this paper, we introduce an energy-efficient power saving mechanism that can significantly reduce unwanted power consumption of wireless sensor nodes through the communication event-driven power management. We show that our scheme improves the energy conservation in the entire network through simulations.

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), most energy saving asynchronous MAC protocols are custom tailored for unicast communications only. However, broadcast protocols are very commonly used in WSNs for a variety of functionalities, such as gathering network topology information, event monitoring and query processing. In this paper, we propose a novel low-power asynchronous broadcast MAC protocol called Alarm Broadcast (A-CAST). A-CAST employs the strobe preamble that specifies the residual waiting time for the following data transmission. Each receiver goes back to sleep upon hearing the strobe preamble for the residual time duration, to conserve energy and to wake up just before data transmission starts. We compute the energy consumption of A-CAST via rigorous mathematical analysis. The analytic results show that A-CAST outperforms B-CAST, a simple broadcast extension of the well-known B-MAC. We also implement A-CAST on sensor motes and evaluated its performance through real experiments. Our experimental results show that A-CAST reduces the energy consumption by up to 222% compared to the previously proposed protocols.

The major resource problem in sensor networks is energy efficiency. There are two major access methods to efficiently use energy. The first is to use dynamic power management (DPM). The second is to use energy efficient protocols. In DPM methods, the OS, the power manager, is responsible for managing the proper power state of CPU and each I/O with respect to the events, but the OS is not largely concerned about the internal operation of each network protocols. Also, energy efficient protocols are mainly focused on the power saving operation of the radio PHY. In addition, in wireless sensor network most of tasks are connected to communication. In such a situation, traditional power managers can waste unpredicted power. In this paper, we introduce an efficient power manger that can reduce a lot of unwanted power consumption through cooperative power management (CPM) in communication-related tasks between each units, such as radio, sensing unit, and CPU, for ad hoc wireless sensor nodes.

As low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) end devices (EDs) are deployed in massive scale, their economic and environmental costs of operation are becoming too significant to ignore and too difficult to estimate. While LPWAN architectures and protocols are designed to primarily save energy, this study shows that energy saving does not necessarily lead to lower cost or environmental footprint of the network. Accordingly, a theoretical framework is proposed to estimate the operational expenditure (OpEx) and environmental footprint of LPWAN EDs. An extended constrained optimization model is provided for the ED link assignment to gateways (GWs) based on heterogeneous ED configurations and hardware specifications. Based on the models, a simulation framework is developed which demonstrates that OpEx, energy consumption, and environmental footprint can be in conflict with each other as constrained optimization objectives. We demonstrate different ways to achieve compromises in each dimension for overall improved network performance.

In this paper, we propose a new MAC protocol, namely DM-MMAC (Doze Mode Multi-Channel MAC) for ad hoe wireless networks which can utilize multiple channels effectively, thereby enhancing the network throughput considerably. Basically, the IEEE 802.11 specification allows for the use of multiple channels available at the physical layer, but its MAC protocol is designed only for a single channel with the fatal drawback, so called multi-channel hidden terminal problem in multi-channel environments. In this vein, several multi-channel MAC protocols have been proposed, but most of them demonstrate the performance problem that its throughput drastically decreases as the number of mobile hosts residing in a given network increases with small number of available channels. In this work, we tried to improve the performance of multi-channel MAC protocols in terms of network throughput as well as power saving effects by simplifying the channel assignment and channel capturing procedures and reducing the possibility of collisions between mobile hosts.

거의 모든 종류의 이동기기에서 에너지를 절감하는 것은 중요한 연구주제들중의 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 낮은 전원을 소모하는 슬립 모드로의 전환이 가능한 노드들로 구성된 MANET(mobile ad hoc networks)에서 에너지를 절감하는 새로운 프로토콜을 설계한다. 본 논문에서 고려하고 있는 MANET는 예측할 수 없는 호스트의 이동성, 멀티홉에서의 호스트들 간의 통신 그리고 비동기적인 메커니즘을 사용하는 특징을 가지고 있다. 특히 우리는 노드의 동기화가 에너지 절감 프로토콜의 복잡성에 어떤 영향을 미치는지에 대하여 연구한다. 또한 IEEE 802.11기반 multi-hop ad hoc network에 적용할 수 있고 동기적으로 전원을 관리하는 SPFAI(Synchoronous PFAI), ESPFAI(Efficient SPFAI), NSPFAI(Non-MTIM SPFAI)의 세가지 에너지 절감 프로토콜을 제안한다.
