 Transmission Power Control in Wireless
sensor Network
• WIRELESS Sensor Networks (WSNs) is envisioned to be a major
enabling technology for Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm .
• In WSNs, to maximize network lifetime, sensor nodes are required to
cooperate in forwarding data towards the base station.
• Indeed, sensor nodes should dissipate their energy in a balanced
fashion so that premature death of any sensor due to over-utilization of
its battery energy is avoided, hence, the lifetime of the WSNis
maximized .
• To achieve energy balancing several decisions should be made
optimally which include the amount of data flow and transmission
power levels employed on each link [6].
 Benefits of TPC
• Links with higher reliability

• Communication at minimum energy cost.

• Better reuse of the medium.

ATPC: Adaptive Transmission power Control
• ATPC is that every node knows the proper transmission power level to
use for each of its neighbors, and every node maintains good link
qualities with its neighbors by dynamically adjusting the transmis-
sion power through on-demand feedback packets.

• Uniquely, ATPC adopts a feedback-based and pairwise transmission

power control. By collecting the link quality history, ATPC builds a
model for each neighbor of the node [1].
 Cont.
• This model represents an in-situ correlation between transmission
power levels and link qualities. With such a model, ATPC tunes the
transmission power according to monitored link quality changes.
• The changes of transmission power level reflect changes in the
surrounding environment. ATPC supports packet-level transmission
power control at runtime for MAC and upper layer protocols.
• For example, routing protocols with transmission power as a metric
can make use of ATPC by choosing the route with optimal power
consumption to forward packets [1].

 Problem Statement
1) How can we incorporate data and ACK packet errors into a mathematical programming
framework with an objective of lifetime maximization?
2) Is it possible to solve such a mathematical program in polynomial time without creating
significant approximation errors?
3) Should we consider data and ACK packet transmission levels as global decision
variables?
4) What is the extent of lifeime decrease if data and ACK transmission decisions are made
considering only each link at a time?
5) Can we use the same optimized transmission power level for both data and ACK packets
on each link?
6) Is it a good strategy to utilize only the highest transmission power level for ACK
packets?
7) What are the effects of the assumption that ACK packets are always error-free?
 Conclusion and Future Work
• There is a serious gap between existing theory work and the in-situ
practice. As a solid step towards the in-situ topology control in sensor
networks, ATPC presents a lightweight transmission power control
technique in a pair- wise manner. This fine-granularity tuning trades
off computation and local memory (e.g., need a table in each node)
with communication, a much more costly operation in terms of energy.
Such observations guide us to set up a model to predict the proper
transmission power, which is enough to guarantee a good packet
reception ratio. We acknowledge that this work is by no means
conclusive. However, it indicates a worthwhile direction for future
research, so that we can build sensor systems for practical deployment.
