PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF DISTRIBUTED ROUTING PROTOCOLS IN MANET WITH NODE ENERGY CONSTRAINTS .

Abstract

A major issue with ad-hoc networks is energy consumption since nodes are usually mobile and battery-operated. In this project we compared the performance of ad-hoc routing protocols in a network where each participating mobile node has a given battery life and will shut-down when a threshold is reached. We studied two routing protocols, Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), and Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector Routing (DSDV), the Ad-Hoc On demand Distance Vector (AODV) by comparing the node termination rate as well as the over-all good put of the network.
