Abstract

The distributed power control (DPC) proposed and tested in various works has been applied to an ad hoc network using AODV as routing scheme. To test the performance of the power controlled version of AODV several simulations have been performed by considering two different kinds of traffic sources and different mobility conditions. Even if in the Dijkstra and Link State case. DPC showed good results in terms of delivery percentage, delivery time and energy saving in several system conditions, in this paper we outline that in the AODV case, its effectiveness is only performed in some operative conditions as a consequence of the intrinsic structure of the routing protocol.
