Energy Efficient Routing Protocol for Mobile Adhoc Networks

Abstract

Energy Efficient Power Reduce Routing (EEPRR) protocol reduces the energy consumption by turning off the nodes which are idle or Sleep mode. As a node consumes significant amount of energy when it is idle, that node is made to go to sleep mode and the difference of energies consumed in idle and sleep mode has been saved. Simulation results show a significant reduction in energy consumption, increase in network lifetime without affecting the throughput. Energy efficient AODV increases the network survivability and leads to a longer battery life of the nodes. They achieve balanced energy consumption with minimum overhead.
