ENERGY PRESERVING ADHOC ON-DEMAND DISTANCE VECTOR

Abstract

Wireless devices use has been increased drastically in the last decade. To provide communication between the node which are mobile in nature and using wireless network some protocols were developed to provide faster transmission between the nodes in the network. But most of them lack in conserving the energy of the nodes to maximize the network lifetime. Energy is the main constraint in a wireless network. Each network device is running on the battery which is always limited source of energy. Hence the routing protocol should take energy of nodes as a valuable metric to perform routing which results in maximum network lifetime. Several protocols were already developed for routing in Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) in this dissertation we enhance the Adhoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Distance Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) which is widely used for routing in MANET’s. This dissertation improves AODV, DSDV protocol to optimize the routing which preserves energy to increase the network lifetime.
