Energy evaluation of two on demand routing protocol under stochastic traffic
Dhiraj Nitnaware, Ajay Kumar Verma · 2008
Energy efficient routing protocols play an important role in MANET mainly due to limited bandwidth and battery power. Route discovery and route maintenance are also the most concern areas in MANET. Many efficient routing protocols have been developed for MANETs over the past few years. They have been analyzed under the CBR traffic. This paper evaluates the energy consumption of two on-demand routing protocols: dynamic source routing (DSR) and ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) under the stochastic traffic (Pareto traffic) in comparison to constant bit rate (CBR) traffic. Energy consumption mainly due to mobility pattern, traffic pattern, area shape, sending rate and number of nodes are evaluated with the help of ns-2 simulator. The simulation results demonstrate the energy consumption behavior of DSR and AODV under different traffic models.
