Effect of Propagation Models on Energy Consumption of MANET

Abstract

In wireless ad-hoc network energy of node is very important issue. Less amount of energy is directly affect the lifetime of network because all nodes in networks are battery operated devices. So optimization of energy consumption in network has greater impact on network life. The power consumption can be reduced at node level, transmission and receiving level. This paper is focusing on how various propagation models affect the energy consumption in ad-hoc network with MANET routing protocols. The four widely used Ad-hoc routing protocols compared are: Ad-hoc on demand Distance Vector (AODV), Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), and Ad-hoc on demand Multipath Distance Vector (AOMDV). Simulation has been carried out using Network Simulator 2.34 and its associated tools like Network Animator.

MPR selection to the OLSR quality of service in MANET using minmax algorithm

“…The development of mobile ad hoc network (MANET) becomes attractive because it deals with various issues [1] and has quick characteristics, capable of managing topology changes independently, costeffective of dissemination [2], and can apply to emergency locations such as natural disaster recovery [3], military operations, and monitoring health. The challenges and problems that occur in MANET are dynamic topology changes, limited energy consumption due to battery use [4][5][6], and communications built between one node with another node without being supported by existing infrastructure [7][8][9]. The dynamic topology changes and the energy consumption generated by the routing protocol will affect the quality of the network [10,11] and cause excessive packet delivery in each neighboring node.…”
