Improved Energy Efficiency in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks

In today’s world, wireless medium is becoming very popular day by day. With the help of wireless connection, everybody is connected with one another and sharing information through messaging, emailing, video-conferencing, voice calling etc. Mobile Ad hoc networks popularly known as Mesh Networks are self-establishing networks that provide wireless connections to the electronic communication devices. Although this type of network has been used in various fields of science and technology but still there are some limitations for effective use of this network. In the present paper an attempt has been made to improve Ad-hoc on-demand distance vector routing protocol. For this scenario, AODV is evaluated up to 50 nodes. The main goal of this paper is to examine the energy of AODV protocol. The calculation part includes when pause time varies and speed at constant and vice-versa. NS2.34 used to perform a simulation.
