Maximum Energy Level Ad Hoc Distance Vector scheme for energy efficient ad hoc networks routing

摘要

Energy consumption issue is an important research topic in wireless ad hoc networks, because wireless nodes in such networks operate on limited battery power. This paper describes improvement of an energy efficiency routing for ad hoc network utilizing the high energy paths. Our proposed algorithms adapt existing AODV routing protocol to improve performance in terms of energy conservation and other performance metrics. The purpose of using energy metric as route select method is to improve lifespan of Ad Hoc communication network and corresponding effect on overall network performance. Simulation results indicate that the routing schemes are more efficient than existing well-known routing protocol.
