An Energy Efficient Reliable Data Routing Protocol for MANET

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the performance of an energy aware routing protocol, called EE-AODV (Energy Constraint on AODV) which derives from the AODV protocol and which is based on the local decisions of intermediate stations to maintain the connectivity of the network as long as possible. The results obtained using the Network Simulator NS-2 demonstrates how small changes in the principle of the AODV protocol can efficiently balance the energy consumption between nodes, which increases the network lifetime. The performance parameters is energy consumption. The simulation result of new protocol is compared with AODV protocol and it is obtained using Network Simulator NS-2 (Version 2.35) [6].The performance parameters is energy consumption. The simulation result shows that energy consumption is reduced up to 12%-16% with CBR traffic.
