Power control techniques are used in wireless communica- tions to reduce interference and save energy. This strat- egy has particularly interesting applications in a multihop MANET(Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks), because the transmission power required for the communication between two nodes is in- creased exponentially with their distance, and the total power required to transmit a packet via multihop may be less than the energy required to transmit it directly. In this paper, we propose a new power saving mechanism in a tree constructed by TDA(Topology discovering Algorithm) [11]. The idea is the reduction of power consumption in each node (when it is pos- sible) by adjusting the transmission range that allows a sig- ni¯cant power saving in all the network. Our results show that, the power consumption in a tree like that constructed by TDA is related to the hight of the tree and tightly related to the packet size.
