ABSTRACT

Mobile ad-hoc network has challenge of the limited power to prolong the lifetime of the network, because power is a valuable resource in mobile ad-hoc network. The status of power consumption should be continuously monitored after network deployment. In this paper, we propose coverage aware neural network based power control routing with the objective of maximizing the network lifetime. Cluster head selection is proposed using adaptive learning in neural networks followed by coverage. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can be used in wide area of applications in mobile ad-hoc network.
