Abstract

Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) are resource constrained. Energy is one of the most important resources in such networks. Therefore, optimal use of energy is necessary. In this project, we present a novel energy-efficient routing protocol for MANETs. We propose a Scattered Based Energy-aware Fuzzy Logic based routing algorithm (SBFL) that simultaneously addresses energy efficiency and energy balancing. Our design captures network status through appropriate energy metrics and maps them into corresponding cost values for the shortest path calculation. We seek fuzzy logic approach for the mapping to incorporate human logic. We compare the network lifetime performance of SBFL with other popular solutions including GA and ACO. Rigorous simulation results depict the energy efficiency, throughput, and prolonged lifetime of the nodes under the influence of the proposed protocol. Future scope of this work is outlined.
