Abstract

A wireless ad hoc network is composed of devices that are capable of communicating directly with their neighbors (roughly speaking, nodes that are nearby). Many such devices are battery-operated, e.g., laptops, smart-phones and PDAs. Thus, their operational life-time before the battery should be recharged or replaced is limited. Among all subsystems operating inside these devices, wireless communication is accounted for the major consumption of power [1,2]. Additionally, platforms enabled with multiple wireless communication interfaces are becoming quite common. This turns the problem of efficient power usage by the wireless communication subsystem even more acute.
