In this study, we focus on large-scale ad hoc networks characterized by a high node density. To achieve energy efficiency, the devices must minimize their data transmission, thereby reducing the total number of bits sent and the associated energy consumption. We consider using ID codes for the address field in the MAC layer and reduce the header size. The work explores a range of use cases and challenges that demonstrate the benefits of incorporating these ID codes into packet routing mechanisms for ad hoc networks, thereby providing a foundation for understanding their applicability and the necessary design adaptations.
