Abstract: "This paper describes the design and analysis of a low-power medium access control (MAC) protocol for wireless/mobile ATM networks. The protocol – denoted EC-MAC (energy conserving medium access control) – is designed to support different traffic types with quality-of-service (QoS) provisions. The network is based on the infrastructure model where a base station (BS) serves all the mobiles currently in its cell. A reservation-based approach is proposed, with appropriate scheduling of the requests from the mobiles. This strategy is utilized to accomplish the dual goals of reduced energy consumption and quality of service provision over wireless links. A priority round robin with dynamic reservation update and error compensation scheduling algorithm is used to schedule the transmission requests of the mobiles. Discrete-event simulation has been used to study the performance of the protocol. A comparison of energy consumption of the EC-MAC to a number of other protocols is provided. This comparison indicates the EC-MAC has, in general, better energy consumption characteristics. Performance analysis of the proposed protocol with respect to different quality-of-service parameters using video, audio and data traffic models is provided. "

Abstract: "For fixed quality-of-service constraints and varying channel interference, how should a mobile node in a wireless network adjust its transmitter power so that energy consumption is minimized? Several transmission schemes are considered, and optimal solutions are obtained for channels with stationary, extraneous interference. A simple dynamic power management algorithm based on these solutions is developed. The algorithm is tested by a series of simulations, including the extraneous-interference case and the more general case where multiple, mutually interfering transmitters operate in a therefore highly responsive interference environment. Power management is compared with conventional power control for models based on FDMA/TDMA and CDMA cellular networks. Results show improved network capacity and stability in addition to substantially improved battery life at the mobile terminals. "
