Abstract:

Due to the scarce bandwidth and limited power supply in mobile terminals, performance and energy consumption in wireless communications must be continually focused upon. Cooperative transmissions improve the capacity performance of wireless ad hoc networks (WANETs). However, when energy efficiency is considered, the advantage of user cooperation over non-cooperation does not always exist since it involves multiple nodes with more energy consumption in transmissions. To exploit the benefits of user cooperation in cooperative WANETs, we propose a distributed energy-efficient selective diversity (EESD) topology control to improve energy efficiency, which jointly considers network capacity and energy consumption in terms of bits per Joule. EESD forms transmission coalitions via cooperative manner (i.e, diversity) selection, by taking into account the cost of channel information exchange. We then formulate EESD as a coalition game and propose an adaptive coalition formation algorithm for EESD with proved convergence property and stable coalition structures. Simulation results show the performance improvement of EESD in energy efficiency and network lifetime compared to the existing topology control schemes.
