Efficient energy consumption is one of the important issues in Ad Hoc Networks. This paper identifies the inefficient elements during the route discovery in well known reactive protocols such as DSR and proposes the new Blocking-ERS approach, which demonstrates a substantial energy efficiency at small time expense in comparison to conventional Expanding Ring Search methods.
