Power Management of Ad Hoc Routing Protocols Using Mobility Impact and Magnetic Resonance

摘要

The performance of an ad hoc routing protocol is highly dependent on the mobility model used in the ad hoc networks. Most of previous work used only Random Waypoint mobility model, which is unrealistic in many situations. The mobile nodes are often power constrained so that energy conservation is also an important issue on evaluating protocols performance. This issue can be sort out in this paper with the help of two concepts: energy conservation based on different mobility models and concept of wirelessly recharges the networks node. Most of them focused on metrics such as packet delivery ratio, delay, and route optimality. In this paper, three on demand routing protocols AODV, DSR and TORA would be evaluate at power management metrics. These protocols are simulated and compared under three different mobility models: Random Waypoint, RPGM, and Manhattan Grid and various scenarios.
