Energy analysis of AODV routing protocol in MANET
Chrispen Mafirabadza, Pallavi Khatri · 2016
Mobile ad-hoc networks are commonly known as MANETs. This type of network consists of nodes which are independent, mobile and also able to exchange messages between themselves. These nodes rely on limited battery; a common challenge in MANETs. As soon as battery power of node is used up, that node becomes a dead node. This node is not able to send or receive data. When all network nodes have used up their energy, then whole network becomes down. In this paper, energy consumption analysis of Ad-hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) protocol is performed. Other parameters such as packet delivery ratio (PDR) and throughput are also analyzed using network simulator (NS2).
