Improving Performance of AODV with Energy Efficient Routing in MANET

Abstract

One of the most widely used Multi hop network is Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) with energy constraints, limited battery power and nodes that exhibit routing functionality. The Architectural concern is mobile ad hoc network is to build appropriate and efficient routes. In MANET, it is required to save the battery power of node as there is repeated variation in position of node which lowers battery charge of the node. Energy efficiency is an important aspect in saving energy consumption of the network. In this paper we proposed energy efficient routing protocol which reduces energy consumption and thus improves network lifetime of network. Simulation is performed using network simulator NS2 and results shows that our proposed protocol reduces delay and increases throughput, packet delivery ratio by consuming less energy compared to existing AODV routing protocol.
