Enhanced AODV based-on home sensors power

Abstract

Most home sensor devices nowadays is based on low data rate and on-demand routing protocol such as Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV). This routing protocol has less overhead and good efficiency in term of delivery ratio and bandwidth. AODV has two phases the route discover phase which discover route to the destination devices based on the shortest and the freshest hop, and the data delivery phase which I have improved it to make power aware in [1]. Therefore, the enhancement on the AODV in this paper to make the discovering phase considering the power of the devices in addition to the other factors. This new enhancement makes the AODV consider the power level of the home sensor devices in finding the optimal path to the destination device. The highest home sensor power route will be selected with the shortest and freshest routes with giving the priority to the power of the devices. The enhanced AODV has better performance on the lifetime of the home sensor devices by increasing their lifetimes with 25%.
