A survey on energy efficient routing protocol for MANET
Siddhant Dodke, Pradeep B. Mane, Mousami Vanjale · 2016
Mobile Ad hoc network (MANET) is a set of two or more nodes that is used for wireless communication and networking capacity. These nodes are formed by the wireless hosts, without using pre-installed infrastructure and do not use centralized administration. Routing protocol define a set of rules which regulates the flow of data packets from source to destination. Distinctive features of MANET makes the routing process complex, therefore the routing protocol is very significant for determining the network performance and its networking capacity. Important issue is Energy consumption as mobile nodes in Ad hoc use battery power for operation. In this paper comparison between performance of Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) is done. We have also analyzed the routing protocol AODV as well as DSR using NS-2 simulator, the obtained results show that DSR consume 40% less energy as compared to AODV.
