摘要:An ad-hoc network is a group of mobile wireless nodes that cooperatively form a network among themselves without any fixed infrastructure. Each node in ad-hoc network forward packets for other nodes to allow nodes not within direct wireless transmission range to communicate. There has been considerable research on conserving power in the routing protocol. Although most of these researches focused on controlling the transmission power of the sender network interface. Increasing power consumption and packet storming within ad-hoc network is becoming a core issue for these low power mobile devices. This work focuses on an approach for energy conservation as well as reducing packet storming within the routing protocol of the ad-hoc network. A wireless network interface in sleep mode consumes less power than idle mode. In this work we propose an improvement on DSDV protocol to allow sleep mode to take part in communication of the ad-hoc network.
