The Energy-Saving Routing Protocol Based on AODV
Xinsheng Wang, Qing Liu, Nan Xu · 2008
To improve the saving energy performance of AODV routing protocol in mobile Ad Hoc networks, the power controlled mechanism was adopted to adjust the emission power of node dynamically and presented a novel saving energy routing protocol: ES-AODV. Nodes made use of the HELLO message mechanism in AODV and reduced energy consumed by inserting intermediate node iteratively. From performance analysis and simulation results, it could be found that ES-AODV had many advantages. Compared to the AODV protocol, ES-AODV prolonged nodes' lifetime and substantially improved the saving energy performance.
