Abstract
A system and method for calculating an optimum transmission power level in an ad-hoc network communication path having a maximum number of transmission hops. The system and method calculates an optimum transmission power level for transmission routes having a maximum number of hops between nodes and transmits the communication using the calculated power level such that a transmission path is achieved that results in a maximum pipeline delay during transmission that does not exceed allowable levels for the service class provided.
