Abstract

In this paper, we propose a power saving strategy in mobile ad-hoc wireless networks. The presented strategy uses the combination of the following two ideas such as the direction guided transmission for the information transmission using a directional antenna and the receive antenna diversity with maximal ratio combining technique. The numerical results show the transmission power can be reduced to 22.47*(N-1) dB, where N mobile nodes within the direction guided transmission area have directional transmit antennas with the half-power beamwidth of radian and two branch receiving diversity in mobile ad-hoc wireless networks.
