Review on Energy Efficient Techniques for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

With the dawn of the new era and rising demands of customers, the mobile ad hoc networks has come into full force. But large amount of data usages and complex applications demands the devices to be more and more efficient in terms of utilization of their batteries thus giving rise to most important energy conservation problem in MANETs. The investigators have put forward many routing algorithms and techniques driven from the bio-inspired food searching behaviors and other traditional methods as well. This paper presents the brief study of the past researches made to augment the lifespan of the network.
