Lathigara Amit Maheshbhai, K. H. Wandra . Adhoc On-demand Distance Vector: Energy Efficient Approach. International Journal of Computer Applications. 102, 8 ( September 2014), 40-45. DOI=10.5120/17839-8725
As nodes of Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) are mobile in nature, overall network lifetime is one of the key challenges in MANET. To improve overall network lifetime along with packet delivery fraction and normalized routing load, this paper proposed an optimised multihop routing protocol (OMR-AODV) as an extension of Adhoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) by introducing threshold limit on residual battery of mobile node during route establishment phase. AODV and OMR-AODV are simulated with various parameters using network simulator and results shows that OMR-AODV performs better than AODV for overall network lifetime along with packet delivery fraction and normalized routing load.
