Efficient Medium Access Control Protocol and Dsr for Energy Management in Ad Hoc Networks

Abstract

Wireless ad hoc networks can be used to provide services anywhere and anytime. Ad hoc networks enable users to spontaneously form a dynamic communication system. In Ad hoc Network nodes have limited energy resources; the energy expended for transferring information across the network has to be minimized. Ad hoc wireless networks are constrained by limited battery power, which makes energy management an important issue. Energy needs to be optimally utilized so that the nodes can perform their functionality satisfactorily It is known that energy can be managed at various levels. In this paper, we propose energy management at three different levels: component, system, and network levels by suggesting an approach to conserve energy at each of these three levels. we are focusing on energy management schemes, energy efficient routing Protocol which tries to meet the challenge of using battery power efficiently.
