AB  - In Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs), battery power is a limited 
  resource and it is expected that battery technology is not likely to progress 
  as fast as computing and communication technologies do. Hence, in order to lengthen 
  the lifetime of batteries is an important issue which is supported by batteries 
  only. But the existing power control techniques rarely consider the delay incurred 
  in power estimation and connectivity of the network. Overhead problems are also 
  caused by sending RTS packets. In order to solve the above problems, researchers 
  propose to develop a power control MAC protocol for minimizing the power consumption 
  and increasing the throughput in MANET. Initially, researchers assume that each 
  node contains a neighbor set (NSET). Based upon the critical transmission range 
  for connectivity, the nodes within the transmission range can be identified. 
  Within the transmission range, the source node chooses the nodes with optimal 
  initial transmission power value. These are stored in NSET to which the source 
  can directly transmit the data with the selected optimal transmission power 
  values. For the nodes beyond the transmission range, the power values of the 
  intermediate nodes are also calculated and the source node sends data to the 
  destination through nodes that has minimum transmission power value.
