Performance Analysis of Energy Efficient Routing Protocols For Mobile Ad-hoc Networks

Mobile Ad-hoc network is a continuously self-configuring, infrastructure less wireless network consisting of mobile device. An energy efficient protocol is important in design of Ad-hoc network because the nodes in Ad-hoc networks operate in limited battery energy and it is not possible to recharge or replace the battery. A shortest path is always selected in Ad-hoc networks by conventional routing protocols. Today most mobile Ad-hoc networks operate on batteries. Power consumption is an important issue. When single path used then the nodes will exhaust very soon and the lifetime of the network is very less. In this paper the discussion of AODV, MEP-AODV and the SELECTIVE AODV is done. The MEP-AODV is the multipath energy efficient probability routing protocol. Minimum battery energy consumption and multipath selection is considered in MEP-AODV. Multipath will selected with sufficient battery energy by destination. Source node can send data via the selected multipath. The proposed model is simulated in MATLAB to evaluate the performance.
