Modeling and Analysis of Power-Aware Ad hoc Networks with Directional Antennas

In this work, we study analytically the benefits of transmission power control on throughput and energy consumption in a uniformly distributed power-aware ad hoc networks where nodes are equipped with directional antennas. We construct an interference model for directional antenna based on a honey grid model to calculate the maximum interference. We further derive a directional collision avoidance model and based on the integrated interference/collision model and signal to interference (SIR) requirements, we present the maximum end-to-end throughput under the maximum interference. We further investigate the effect of collision on the energy consumption and propose an energy consumption model that utilize all aspects of energy wastage.
