Overview

Why is Power Control Important?Limited resources of energyAiming to bring better performances: Throughput, Delay,…

Why is Power Control a Cross-Layer Design Problem?Affect the physical layer: quality of the signalAffect the network layer: range of transmissionAffect the transport later: magnitude of the interference

Overview

Multi-dimensional EffectMac Layer Performance: contention for the mediumTopology Control Problem: Connectivity of the networkEffect on several important metrics:

Energy ConsumptionThroughput CapacityEnd-to-End Delay

Impact on protocols in existenceCreate unidirectional linksAffect MAC/routing protocols:

Distributed Bellman Ford, RTS/CTS handshake in IEEE 802.11

5

Design Principles For Power Control

To increase network capacity it is optimal to reduce the transmit power level

For transmit range r: The area of interference is proportional to r2

The relaying burden is proportional to 1/r, Then

The area consumed by a packet is proportional to r

6

Design Principles For Power Control

Reducing the transmit power level reduces the average contention at the MAC layer

For any given point in the domain:An average of cr2 transmitters within range;Traffic flowing through each node is proportional to 1/r, then

The net radio traffic in contention range is proportional to r

7

Design Principles For Power Control

The impact of power control on total energy consumption depends on the energy consumption pattern of the hardwareTerms:

PRxelec: the power consumed in the receiver electronics for processingPTxelec: the power consumed in the transmitter electronics for processingPTxRad(p): Power consumed by the power amplifier to transmit a packet at the power level pPIdle , PSleep

8

The impact of power control on total energy consumption

If the energy consumed for transmission, PTxRad(p), Dominates:

Using low power level is broadly commensurate with energy efficient routing for commonly used inverse αth law path loss models, with α≥2

Energy efficient routing seeks to minimize :Can get the graph consisting of edges lying along some power optimal route between any pair of nodes

9

The impact of power control on total energy consumption

Connections only with nearby nodes, and no intercections

11

The impact of power control on total energy consumption

When PSleep is much less than PIdle:

turning the radio off whenever possible becomes an important energy saving strategy

Estimates show that usually PIdle > 20PSleep

Power management protocols seeking to put nodes to sleep while maintaining the network connectivity

12

The impact of power control on total energy consumption

When a common power level is used throughout the network:

There exists a critical transmission range rcrit, below which transmissions are sub-optimal with regards to energy consumptionGiven two nodes with distance d, the energy consumed for transmitting one packet:

Which can be minimized at:

( )αcrPPrd

TxelecRxelec ++

13

The impact of power control on end-to-end delay

Power level and Traffic load jointly determine the end-to-end delay

Under high load a lower power gives lower delayUnder low load a higher power gives lower delay

A packet experiences:Propagation delay: neglectableProcessing delay: time taken in receiving, decoding and retransmitting, inversely proportional to range r; Queuing delay: can be shown it increases super-linearly with the power level p

14

The impact of power control on end-to-end delay

15

Design Principles For Power Control

Power control can be regarded as a network layer problem

In fact it impacts multiple layersNumerous approaches attempt to solve it at MAC Layer

Adjust the transmit power level to make the SINR just enough for receiver to decode the packetOnly a local optimization

Network layer power control is capable of a global optimization

16

Power Control Protocols

COMPOW ProtocolDesign Strategies

Choose a common power level;Set this power level to the lowest value which keeps the network connected;Keeps the energy consumption close to minimum, while restricting the lowest admissible power level to rcrit.

ImplementationRunning multiple proactive routing protocols at each power level, and find out the routing table with lowest p.

Appealing feature: Provides bidirectional links

17

Power Control Protocols

CLUSTERPOW ProtocolCOMPOW is not energy-efficient when there are outlying nodeDesign Strategies:

Select n different power levels to form a n-level hierarchical structure

ImplementationBuilding routing table for each power levelTransmitting packet at the smallest power level p such that the destination can be found on the p-routing table.

CLUSTERPOW Protocol

CLUSTERPOW is loop freeStill can be further improved

Recursive Lookup Schemes

may not be loop-free

Solution: Tunnelled CLUSTERPOW

22

Power Control Protocols

Tunnelled CLUSTERPOW ProtocolWhen doing recursive lookup for an intermediate node, encapsulates the packet with the address of the node.

23

Power Control Protocols

MINPOW ProtocolDesign Objective: Provide a globally optimal solution with respect to total power consumptionImplementation:

Proactively sends “hello” at multiple transmit power levelsOnly the “hello” packets at the Pmax contain routing updatesFor each link, computes the power consumption per packet PTxtotal = PTxelec + PTxrad(p) at all power level and take the minimum as the link cost in the distance vector algorithm

Feature: a globally optimal solution for power consumption, but may not be the optimal solution for network capacity

Unintended Consequences

Power Control can be addressed as

Multi-dimensional OptimizationUsually one objective is achieved at the expense of one another

Cross-Layer OptimizationShould not ignore the interactions between different layers

28

Unintended Consequences

Example: the MINPOW Power Control ProtocolCompared with MHRP/802.11 solution (Min-Hop Routing)

MHRP/802.11: A->B and E->D can happen

concurrently

MINPOW: A has to resort to C to send

packets to BThen E->D cannot happen

29

Control-Theory Based Approach Channel Model

It is simple to use the inverse αth law path loss model

It will be rather complicated when taking into account the time-variance of the channel gain

Can Derive the closed loop system:

Time delay can be compensated for using the Smith predictor

Predict the power gain to improve the reactions so as to decrease the disturbulance
