Abstract

In this paper, an energy-efficient contention-based MAC protocol (ECM) for wireless ad hoc networks is proposed. The ECM is the combined protocol of the power management scheme and the collision avoidance scheme of the IEEE 802.11 DCF to reduce the energy consumption of a node. The proposed ECM enhances power saving effects of the legacy IEEE 802.11 DCF, provides longer network lifetime, and delivers more packets than the power management scheme of the legacy IEEE 802.11 DCF. These results are shown throughout the simulation
