MAC protocol with power/energy conservation in mobile Ad-hoc Network

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a self configuring infrastructure-less network of mobile devices connected by wireless They have undergone rapid growth in the past several years because of their application in military and rescue service, disaster recovery operations, mobile conferencing and many other applications. The Media Access Control (MAC) data communication protocol sub-layer provides addressing and channel access control mechanisms t hat make it possible for network nodes to access common wireless channel through distributed coordination function (DCF). Wireless network adopts centralized transmission technique for transmission of power. MANETs are networks capable of communicating in a set of small, low cost, low power sensing devices. A wireless sensor networks is totally based on the limiting factor i.e. energy consumption. A wireless sensor network consists of large number of sensor nodes distributed or scattered in particular network region.
