Transmission power control in mobile ad hoc network using network coding and Co-Operative Communication

Abstract

MANET is a set of mobile devices with no fixed topology. Ad hoc means “for this purpose”. In MANET nodes are battery operated with dynamic network topology hence energy efficiency is an important design consideration to extend the lifetime of networks. Topology of network plays an important role for energy conservation. Topology control is to decide the transmission power of nodes and to increase network connectivity as well as increase the energy efficiency. In this paper, we present Cooperative Communication(CC) is to link disconnected networks in order to reduce transmission power of nodes with increased network connectivity.CC is a proficient technology to confess the quality of service (QoS) in MANETs. Thus, this paper proposes the energy efficient routing for MANET with the use of CC and network coding. Network coding used to reduce bandwidth consumption and hence power consumption also reduced. The proposed routing algorithm is efficient power aware routing with network coding (EPARN) identifies the capacity of a node not just by its residual battery power, but also by the expected energy spent in reliably forwarding data packets over a specific link. In simulation results, the performance of the proposed algorithms is compared with the other existing methods.
