Performance Evaluation of Energy Efficient Routing Protocols for MANET

MANET are a dynamic and infra structureless networks. The major constraint of this type ao networks are Energy optimization because the nodes involved in these type of networks are battery operated. To improve the lifetime of these network can be improving the energy levels of the individual nodes of the network. This paper presents an analysis of the effects of different design choices for this on-demand routing protocols in wireless ad hoc networks. The analysis of this paper is based on the Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR), which operates entirely on-demand. This paper compares an existing DSR protocol with the proposed two modified DSR protocols named Maximised Energy Efficient Routing protocol (MEER) and Cluster Based Energy Efficient Routing protocol(CBEER). Based on the simulation, it is found that the energy efficiency and percentage of reliable delivery of packets in the MEER and CBEER protocol are considerably higher than the existing DSR protocol. Also these proposed protocols considerably increases the life time of the network. General Terms Energy, Cache, delay, throughput, speed.
