ENERGY OPTIMIZATION IN MANET USING LOAD BALANCING & DIFFERENT ROUTING TECHNIQUES

Abstract

Routing protocols are required in network for deliver packets from source to destination. The multipath routing provides concept of load balancing but not efficiently distribute the load in network by that the valuable source of communication i.e. energy conservation is affected from it because of packet loss etc. This project is motivated by the idea of taking account of several factors in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) routing design in a unified manner. The rational of our motivation is that most of the multi path routing protocols are designed only based on one criterion, i.e., shortest path considered with balance load and energy conservation. We proposed a scheme which could consider energy conservation, shortest path and load balancing. In this routing scheme, we shall consider both the shortest path and the energy conservation in multipath way with proposed energy based multi path routing (E-AODV/E-DSR). We have defined an energy factor as that we will use the products of the energy factors of all the nodes along different paths as mentioned by the selection criteria. The energy factor informs about the status of energy then here we evaluate the performance of normal AODV/DSR and energy based E-AODV/DSR. The life times of proposed energy based AODV/DSR are limited but the improved routing as compares to AODV/DSR without the including energy factor. The performance of proposed scheme are better in limited life time frame. The performance matrices are shown the better results in the proposed scheme.
