Advance Power Saving in MANET

Abstract

The latest advancement in wireless technology and its applications received a lot of
attention. An ad hoc network is one such recent technology, which gives a new paradigm for wireless
self-organized networks. Ad hoc networks are simple peer-to- peer networks, self-organized and with no
fixed infrastructure. They are used in military oriented tactical operations, for emergency law
enforcement, and in rescue missions. We have proposed On Demand Based Energy Efficient Routing
Protocol (ODBEERP). The main aim of proposed protocol is to discover the minimum power-limitation
route. The power limitation of a route is decided by the node which has the minimum energy in that
route. So compared with the minimum node energy in any other route, the minimum node energy in the
minimum power-limitation route has more energy. We have also proposed a more accurate analysis to
track the energy consumptions due to various factors, and improve the performance during path
discovery and in mobility scenarios. The proposed protocol is evaluated with object oriented discrete
event simulator environment. Simulation results shows that the ODBEERP achieves good throughput,
less delay, high packet delivery ratio and good energy efficiency than the existing protocol PEER.
