Abstract:
MANET (Mobile Ad hoc Network) is self
organizing and self configuration and self
controlled network without the need of any base
station AP(Access Point). Mobility of nodes in
MANET causes ever changing topologies. As one of
constraints in MANET is limited battery resources,
It is important to know energy efficiency of routing
protocols to limit the power consumption, prolong
the battery life and to improve the robustness of the
system. This paper focuses on energy consumption
metric Total Energy Consumed, Total Remaining
Energy and Energy Consumption per successful
data delivery (ECSDD) in some of the routing
protocols in MANET such as DSR, AODV by
varying pause time, node velocity and packet
sending rate and area of network. Simulation is
done by using NS-2.
