  • Systems and methods for energy-conscious communication in wireless ad-hoc networks
    Patent number: 7924728
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transport protocol and associated methods and stack architectures for improving the energy efficiency of transmitting packets through an ad hoc network. The protocol controls transmissions by taking into account per-packet energy limits, per-node loss tolerances, and/or minimum availability rates determined based on path quality measurements collected by packets traversing the network and application reliability requirements associated with various applications.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 24, 2007
    Date of Patent: April 12, 2011
    Assignee: Raytheon BBN Technologies Corp
    Inventors: Niky Riga, Abraham I. Matta, Alberto Antonio Medina, Craig Partridge, Jason Keith Redi, Isidro Marcos Castineyra
