A Partitioned Power and Location Aware MAC Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Overview This paper proposes a novel power and location aware Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol, called LAMP (Location Aware MAC Protocol). LAMP is designed for location aware Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs). LAMP uses the concept of cellular geographical division of the network in order to build a distributed Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) based schedule for transmission, reception and sleep. It allows hosts to avoid overhearing the network and instead sleep and conserve power. Power saving is a significant concern in MANETs as most mobile hosts operate with a limited amount of power available to them. LAMP trades an increase in latency for a reduction in energy consumption, whilst maintaining fairness in the network.
