Most mobile nodes are operated using batteries, protocols which conserve energy are of interest. The Dynamic Directional Power Control Protocol (DDPC) is a protocol that dynamically varies the energy used in directional transmission to increase the battery life of the transmitter without sacrificing connectivity with the receiver. The advantage of DDPC is that it takes into account the remaining battery power of a node before changing its transmission power. DDPC can achieve a higher network lifetime when compared to a network where nodes use a fixed transmit power level. Meanwhile DDPC dynamically reduces the energy consumed by a node in transmission. It can also reach nodes far from the transmitter by using directional antennas.
