Power Controlled MAC Protocols for Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks

In wireless ad-hoc networks power controlled MAC is becoming the most attractive proposal as access scheme providing efficient use of the radio spectrum. In literature several proposals can be found, which introduce power control as a mechanism to be jointly used with MAC procedures in order to increase the radio channel utilization: the basic idea is that the classic collision avoidance mechanism is turned into an interference control one by means of power control
