Abstract

MANET transmission is one solution to provide networking amenities in ubicomp topographies. If protocols pertaining to this strategy are well designed, it can help in controlling energy issues in ubicomp [77]. The enforcement of location-aware transmission strategies is prone to enhance energy management and hence merits all attention needed from researchers. Among the enhancements awaited [1] are: the application of landbased GPS systems, improved location refresh rates and accuracy, development of better protocols optimised for transmission according to distance criteria and refining the precision of the distance criteria to apply the protocol. The knowledge of distance coverages by transmitted packets in ubicomp and corresponding variations over different node densities, is definitely useful for refining transmission protocols in MANETs. Such an empirical study was made in a previous paper [26], whereby the metric PPD was devised and studied
