An efficient fuzzy-based power control scheme for ad hoc networks

Abstract

Pervasive computing devices frequently rely upon wireless ad hoc connections to exchange information with neighboring systems. The density of these types of wireless transactions will steadily increase as the Internet of Things (IoT) expands. To mitigate the growing demand for wireless bandwidth, the available frequency bands can be more effectively shared and reused through the use of transmission power control (TPC). There are several advantages to taking a fuzzy-based approach to TPC; however, existing fuzzy control proposals are primarily designed for cognitive radios and use inputs that are unavailable to ordinary ad hoc networks.Our contribution is the presentation of a lightweight fuzzybased controller that is designed for resource-constrained nodes in ad hoc networks. By using only two commonly available radio hardware metrics, our controller reduces the computational overhead and improves the response time of the power control cycle when compared to other fuzzy-based TPC designs.

An adaptable fuzzy-based model for predicting link quality in robot networks.

“…As the table conveys, the capability to gauge and optimize LQ can lead to enhanced energy efficiency, network capacity, fault tolerance, and location awareness. [52,53] The term link quality (LQ) generally refers to some target variable that is a derivative of throughput or reliability. There is no standard definition for LQ, nor standard unit of measure for the quantifier [54].…”
