Routing is one of the key issues in Mobile Adhoc Network. Although establishing correct and efficient routes is an important issue in MANETs, a more challenging goal is to provide energy efficient routing protocols since mobile nodes will be powered by batteries with limited capacity. Power failure of a mobile node not only affect the node itself but also its ability to forward packets on behalf of others and thus the overall network lifetime. On demand routing protocols such as AODV and DSR for MANETs are known to use low bandwidth and consumes less power which makes them appealing for MANET's scenario. This paper discuss and evaluate energy efficient AODV routing protocols in which some nodes remain silent without forwarding the redundant rebroadcast packets.
