The limited energy and transmission capacities of wireless sensor networks and MANET present serious routing issues. Two energy-efficient position-based routing algorithms, Energy-efficient DREAM convergence and Energy-efficient LAR Coordinate routing, have been proposed in response to these issues. The development of these algorithms is based on the concepts of Location-Aided Routing (LAR) and Distance Routing Effect Algorithm for Mobility (DREAM). To successfully reduce routing overhead, our suggested algorithms make use of strategies like "compass routing" and "most forward within a specified radius." Increasing the overall network lifetime of Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) is the main objective, with a special emphasis on sensor networks and MANET. We have rigorously experimented to prove our approach's effectiveness. The findings show a significant decrease in the number of hops needed between the source and the destination for different convergence angles. This shows that, in the context of position-based routing, energy usage in MANET nodes during data transmission has been successfully minimized. Our suggested method introduces energy-efficient algorithms that improve routing and lengthen network lifespan, thereby addressing the difficulties presented by energy and transmission limits in wireless sensor networks and MANET. The experimental findings demonstrate how well our method works in lowering hop counts and decreasing energy loss in MANET nodes while transmitting data.
