Abstract:
MANET is an infrastructure-less wireless network. In MANET, nodes are self-configured, self controlled and act as both router and host for transmitting and receiving packets. Due to the
absence of central administration, link breakage happen. It happened due to the factors of node
mobility and limited node energy. However, traditional MANET routing protocols have no
battery consideration parameter and the node can get energy from the attached battery which
means there is no energy recharging or replacement techniques. To overcome these challenges
and utilize their energy efficiently, different researchers have developed different algorithms.
In this study, Energy Aware Stable Path Ad hoc on-demand Distance Vector Algorithm (EASP AODV) is designed. The algorithm considers individual node residual energy and hop count that
reduce link breakage and prolong network lifetime of MANETs. To evaluate the proposed EASP AODV routing protocol, we have used NS2.35 as a simulation tool. And also we have used
normalized energy consumption, packet delivery ratio, normalized routing overhead, average
end to end delay and network lifetime as performance metrics. The simulation result shown that
the normalized energy consumption of EASP-AODV is 4.5% and 9.5% less than Energy Aware
Path Selection (EAPS-AODV) and AODV routing algorithms, and it prolongs the network
lifetime by 3.5% and 7.5% than EAPS-AODV and AODV routing algorithms, respectively.
