Abstract
A mobile ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that communicate with one another without any fixed networking infrastructure. Since the nodes in this network are mobile, the energy management and energy conservation become very critical in mobile ad hoc network. The nodes in this network have limited battery power and limited computational power with a small amount of memory. Such nodes must conserve energy during routing to prolong their usefulness and increase network lifetime. This research paper proposes a scheme that takes into consideration the energy awareness during route selection. This scheme observes power status of each and every node in the topology and further ensures the fast selection of routes with minimal efforts and faster recovery. Along with this scheme also introduce the concept of wirelessly recharge the nodes of the networks. The scheme is incorporated with the AODV protocol and introduces new protocol EEAODV the performance has been studied through simulation over NS-2.34.
Highlights
A mobile ad hoc network is an autonomous system of mobile hosts which are free to move around randomly and organize themselves arbitrarily
The results show that, the EEAODV outperforms the Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing (AODV) protocol irrespective of speed
The results show that, the EEAODV outperforms the AODV protocol irrespective of pause time
Summary
A mobile ad hoc network is an autonomous system of mobile hosts which are free to move around randomly and organize themselves arbitrarily. The nodes in an ad hoc network can be laptops, PDA or palm tops etc. These are often limited in resources such as CPU capacity, storage capacity, battery power and bandwidth. Each node participating in the network acts both as a router and as a host and must be willing to transfer packets to other nodes For this purpose, a routing protocol should try to minimize control traffic [1].
