- Abstract
- One of the main characteristics of MANET (Mobile ad hoc network) is that it is constrained by power sources. Therefore, every effort is to be concentrated on reducing power consumption. More precisely, extending lifetime of ad hoc network is a main design criteria. In this kind of network, each mobile node moves operatively, so excessive use of energy source or switching off of each mobile node will disconnect links between mobile nodes. In order to lengthen the lifetime of ad hoc networks, traffic should be sent along the route that can evade mobile nodes with low energy level with minimization the traffic transmission energy consumption. In an ad hoc network, the energy exhaustion of each mobile node does not affect the mobile node itself only but the whole network lifetime. In this paper, we focused on a algorithm for minimizing energy conservation within the routing protocols of ad hoc network. In this paper, a modified routing protocol has been proposed which will efficiently utilize the battery power of the mobile nodes in such a way that the network will get more life time. To prove the effectiveness of proposed routing protocol, simulation was carried out using the ns-2 network simulation tool.
