摘要:The network connectivity of Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) is a multifaceted problem due to the uncertainty of the network topology. Since, wireless links have significantly limited capacity, they are affected by several errors that results in degradation of the received signal and consequently lead to the problem of coverage and connectivity. In this paper, we propose to develop a smart transmission power adjustment routing technique based on connectivity and coverage for MANETs. Initially traffic factor is calculated for each node which is based on the input and output capacity at each node and data generation rate. Then the path which has minimum transmission power and traffic factor is selected for transmission. The proposed technique also provides transmission of data to the node which is outside the coverage area. From the simulation results, we show that the proposed routing technique provides optimal power control in MANET by attaining good throughput and reduced energy consumption.
