Research ArticleOpen accessModified Power Save Model for Better Energy Efficiency and Reduced Packet LatencyNarendran Rajagopalan, C. MalaDevices constituting wireless ad-hoc networks generally operate in battery power, energy efficiency is a critical research issue. IEEE 802.11 Power Save Mode is a standard recommended for energy efficient operation of wireless ad-hoc networks. When there is no data to transfer, energy is still utilized by IEEE 802.11 PSM during the ATIM window. With this work, an attempt is made … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 29 Aug 2012 · 8,312 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessHistory Based Probabilistic Backoff AlgorithmNarendran Rajagopalan, C. MalaPerformance of Wireless LAN can be improved at each layer of the protocol stack with respect to energy efficiency. The Media Access Control layer is responsible for the key functions like access control and flow control. During contention, Backoff algorithm is used to gain access to the medium with minimum probability of collision. After studying different variations of back off … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 29 Aug 2012 · 7,662 accessesView PDF Cite
