Abstract
With the advance of wireless communication technologies, small-size and high-performance computing and communication devices are increasingly used in daily life. After the success of second generation mobile system, more interest was started in wireless communications. A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a wireless network without any fixed infrastructure or centralized control; it contains mobile nodes that are connected dynamically in an arbitrary manner. The Mobile Ad hoc Networks are essentially suitable when infrastructure is not present or difficult or costly to setup or when network setup is to be done quickly within a short period, they are very attractive for tactical communication in the military and rescue missions. They are also expected to play an important role in the civilian for as convention centers, conferences, and elec-tronic classrooms. The clustering is an important research area in mobile ad hoc networks because it im-proves the performance of flexibility and scalability when network size is huge with high mobility. All mo-bile nodes operate on battery power; hence, the power consumption becomes an important issue in Mobile Ad hoc Network. In this article we proposed an Energy Aware Clustered-Based Multipath Routing (EACMR), which forms several clusters, finds energy aware node-disjoint multiple routes from a source to destination and increases the network life time by using optimal routes.
Highlights
The history of wireless networks started in the 1970s and the interest has been growing ever since
When the phone moves out of range of a base-station, it does a “hand-off” and switches to a new base-station within reach, the second type is called as Mobile Ad hoc Network without any fixed infrastructure or centralized control; it contains mobile nodes that are connected in an arbitrary manner
We proposed novel approach without using Global Position System (GPS); this approach is very suitable and applicable for the cluster based mobile ad hoc networks
Summary
The history of wireless networks started in the 1970s and the interest has been growing ever since. The wireless networks broadly classified into two types, first type infrastructure networks contains base-stations; an example of this wireless network is the cellular-phone network where a phone connects to the base-station with the best signal quality. When the phone moves out of range of a base-station, it does a “hand-off” and switches to a new base-station within reach, the second type is called as Mobile Ad hoc Network without any fixed infrastructure or centralized control; it contains mobile nodes that are connected in an arbitrary manner. All nodes in the Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) are mobile and can be connected dynamically in an arbitrary manner. The nodes are the main components of the network; these nodes can move freely at any time and can leave or join the network so the network structure changes dynamically due to mobility [1]
