  • Mobile ad hoc network providing power control and associated methods
    Patent number: 11582699
    Abstract: A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) includes a first MANET node having a first radio frequency (RF) transceiver and a first controller coupled thereto to generate RF transmissions. A second MANET node has a second RF transceiver configured to communicate with the first RF transceiver, and a second controller coupled to the second RF transceiver. The second controller is configured to cooperate with the second RF transceiver to receive the RF transmissions from the first MANET node, generate a normalized reception value based upon the received RF transmissions and send the normalized reception value to the first MANET node. The first controller is configured to control a transmit power level for a subsequent RF transmission based upon the normalized reception value from the second MANET node.
