My M.S. thesis, titled "Minimum
Energy Transmission Schemes for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks", was successfully defended
on August 19, 2002
at The George Washington University, Washington, D.C. The thesis committee
comprised:

- Dr. Suresh Subramaniam, Assistant Professor
- Dr. Shahrokh Ahmadi, Assistant Professor
Abstract
The thesis proposes several novel relay transmission schemes that lead to
minimum energy consumption in a mobile ad-hoc network. The study introduces
mobility in the form of a node that is capable of collecting data from sources
randomly distributed in space, and delivering it to a final gateway. After
defining an energy cost function based on transmission powers, it describes ways
to minimize the cost for a host of network configurations and mobile
trajectories. These include motion in a straight line, piece-wise linear motion,
and finally, random motion in bounded and unbounded space. The proposed
algorithms are supported by proofs based on the theories of analytic geometry
and Markov processes.
