CURTAIL IDLE LISTENING WITHOUT LOSING THE NETWORK CONNECTIVITY

摘要

Extensive research efforts have been put to facilitate distraction free communication in intermittently connected Networks. Nodes within this kind of network experience frequent disconnections due to sparse deployment of nodes, mobility and node failures. Usually, nodes in an intermittent network spend more time in listening to the network rather than transmitting or receiving any useful data. Problem: The energy consumed by idle listening mode is one of the major reasons for battery drain which is the main problem in intermittent network. The solution is that the Design of a new structure for Beacon Interval with one Beacon Frame and checking out the neighbor table for the past record of encounters so as to decrease idle listening without losing network connectivity in the intermittent network. The actual performance of the proposed work is analyzed using the parameters Packet delivery ratio, energy consumption and neighbor discovery in order to check the condition "sleep more without losing the network connectivity" is achieved.
