Cross-Layer Energy Minimization for Underwater ALOHA Networks

Underwater networks suffer from energy efficiency challenges due to difficulties in recharging underwater nodes. In addition, underwater acoustic networks show unique transmission characteristics such as frequency-dependent attenuation, which causes …

Energy-Optimum Throughput and Carrier Sensing Rate in CSMA-Based Wireless Networks

We propose a model for the energy consumption of a node as a function of its throughput in a wireless CSMA network. We first model a single-hop network, and then a multi-hop network. We show that operating the CSMA network at a high throughput is …
