Abstract
Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs) consist of a set of mobile nodes that form a dynamically changing network without the use of an existing infrastructure. Every node in the network acts as the peer to its immediate neighbor. Each node is thus responsible for relaying data to neighboring nodes for ensuring communication between distant nodes. This information dissemination mechanism pattern consumes extra node energy thus making energy a critical parameter for ensuring increased network lifetime. This paper proposes a new energy and mobility aware routing protocol referred to as Mobility and Energy Aware AODV (MEAODV) protocol. The proposed protocol has shown through simulations to achieve 4–5% increase in Packet Delivery Ratio, 20–24% reduction in Convergence time and 10 to 15% increase in Network Lifetime when compared to most promising stability based variants of AODV, PersonalizedAODV (RAODV) and MulticastAODV (MAODV-X).
