Abstract
Wireless ad-hoc networks have become the most vibrant and vital area of research over the past years. Most devices in MANET are power operated. Therefore, the need of the hour is to design a protocol that will not only saves the battery life but also increase the lifetime of participating nodes in the ad-hoc network. In this paper, a new power-aware routing protocol has been proposed which selects the best gateway node for sending the data packets from source to destination. Additionally, the proposed routing protocol extends the battery lifetime of a mobile node and also minimizes the power consumption of an entire network. Moreover, this paper also presents an experimental evaluation of the proposed routing protocol by using three parameters (remaining power path, remaining battery power, and hop count) and provide the best path.
Highlights
Mobile adhoc networks are commonly known as multi hop wireless networks in which mobile hosts communicate in the network without any centralized access point and infrastructure
In MANET, mobile nodes dynamically establish their routes among themselves and form their own network in an adhoc fashion(Toh, 1996). Such wireless networks have dynamically, rapidly, randomly and multi hop topologies which are composed of relatively bandwidth-constrained like wireless links, limited battery power etc
On receiving the packet broadcasted by the new entrant, the each recipient node loads the details about new entrant into its own NAL and Neighbor Awareness Table (NAT)
Summary
Mobile adhoc networks are commonly known as multi hop wireless networks in which mobile hosts communicate in the network without any centralized access point and infrastructure. Communication between nodes is possible only, when the nodes are located within the radio range of each other. In MANET, mobile nodes dynamically establish their routes among themselves and form their own network in an adhoc fashion(Toh, 1996). Such wireless networks have dynamically, rapidly, randomly and multi hop topologies which are composed of relatively bandwidth-constrained like wireless links, limited battery power etc. Robust and efficient operations have been performed in mobile ad- hoc network (Chen & Nahrstedt, 1999)(Pathak & Kumar, 2017). Efficient communication and load balancing are an important features for better usage of resources and to increase the quality and performance of the network (Deepa & Sutha, 2018)
