Randomized energy-based AODV protocol for wireless ad-Hoc network

Abstract

MANET is one kind of non-infrastructure network which is composed of various mobile nodes. Due to the battery energy constraints in MANET, energy efficiency is an important factor while designing ad hoc wireless networks. Previous works tried to optimize the AODV protocol by proposing different schemes. In this paper, two solutions have been proposed to control the congestion problem of wireless ad-hoc network in MANET. Some changes have been made in the RREQ packet to calculate the drop factor. The energy-based proposed scheme has been simulated with network simulator 2.35. It is seen from the result that the solutions proposed has performed comparatively better than the traditional AODV with respect of packet delivery ratio, throughput and delay.
