Abstract
One of the main benefits of power controlled ad-hoc wireless networks is their ability to vary the range in order to reduce the power consumption. Minimizing energy consumption is crucial on such kind of networks since, typically, wireless devices are portable and benefit only of limited power resources. On the other hand, the network must have a sufficient degree of connectivity in order to guarantee fast and efficient communication. These two aspects yield a class of fundamental optimization problems, denoted as range assignment problems, that have been the subject of several works in the area of wireless network theory. The primary aim of this paper is to describe the most important recent advances on this class of problems. Rather than completeness, the paper will try to provide results and techniques that seem to be the most promising to address the several important related problems which are still open. Discussing such related open problems are indeed our other main goal.
