Asynchronous Power Saving (APS) technique is one of the unique standard used in Mobile Ad hocNetworks to conserve more energy in the system. This technique when combined with other power saving systems like Ultra WideBand System and the use of Directional antenna in MANETs provides astonishing result. In designing Medium Access Control (MAC), developing a framework and giving a detailed implementation procedure are among the factors that hinder the process; specifically in MANETs not to mention the Algorithm. This paper aimed at exploring a standard framework, implementation procedure and Algorithm for designing an Asynchronous Power Saving Ultra WideBandMeduim Access Control (UWB-MAC) in MANETs using directional antenna. An implementation procedure that comprises of transmission, channelization, and receiver pattern of the Physical layer is specified in this research work. The paper concludes with an algorithm for an Asynchronous Power Saving UWB-MAC using a Steerable Directional antenna in MANETs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
