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 analysis on
MANET with the comparative study on routing
protocols like DSR and AODV. The evaluation is
performed by using NS-2.
