Performance Evaluation of Energy Efficient Routing Protocols in MANETS

In this paper the mobile ad-hoc networks where there is no fixed infrastructure the mobile nodes are highly dynamic mobility. Due to mobility of node cased increasing over head and also require more energy consumption. , in mobile ad hoc network major challenging issue is energy and network overhead because of mobile nodes have limited energy source which are operated with only DC source. The effective use of energy requires efficient routing protocol. A performance comparison of Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocols with respect to average energy consumption and routing energy consumption are explained thoroughly. The performance of the DSR protocol is compared with AODV protocol in terms of energy consumption, network overhead, throughput, end to end delay. The simulation parameters are carried out using network simulator ns 2.35. Keyword: AODV, DSR, MANETs, Energy
