A Conceptual Overview of Energy Consumption based Routing protocol - ECBR

Working on limited energy within an Ad-hoc network requires a strong communication channel. In this paper, we are trying to propose a new routing protocol which is based on Energy consumption for mobile ad-hoc networks. Since MANET is an infrastructure less network, so the nodes form the network from which they do the communication and message passing. Each nodes itself act as router. Energy is consumed in sending or receiving the packets between the nodes. Here we are measuring the Energy consumption in different states and adding a new Energy consumption field in Routing Table as well. Energy consumption based Routing (ECBR) protocol is thus a new benchmark in which the routing will consider the energy consumption for selecting the path. Doing so will reduce the chances of network failure. We show that mechanism is stable, counter-active, reliable and fair.
