Performance Analysis of Mtpr Routing Protocol in Power Deficient Node
Dharam Vir · International Journal on AdHoc Networking Systems · 2012
Power conservation in Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a major challenge even today for researchers.To conserve it various power aware routing protocols have been proposed.These protocols do not take into consideration the residual power left in nodes.To find the impact of the same a simulator was designed in MATLAB-7.01.The routing protocol used in our simulation is Minimum Total Power Routing (MTPR) and different performance metrics such as path optimality, throughput and hop count were recorded in presence and absence of power scarce node.The result shows significant impact of power scarce node on MANET performance.
