Abstract

This paper introduces a method for deployment-specific adaptation of wireless ad hoc networks. The method utilizes sophisticated nodes which model the network signature for actual deployments and routing paths. Since the transmit power is fixed, many nodes may not save energy from communication. At the same time, all nodes save energy from calculations and the number of beacon periods may be controlled. The nodes with embedded simulators control the balance between lifetime and real-time performance. Also, some routes are modified to decline the communication range and save energy. An example shows a significant energy reduction and improved real-time performance.
