Investigating Energy Efficiency of Mobile Ad-hoc Network Routing Protocols

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a wireless network that comes with few routing protocols which have varied mechanisms. Studies show operations consume energy while current research focuses more on MANET protocol operation and its performance evaluation, the required for successful equally demands quality attention of researchers. Hence, need to expand scope study neglected area studies. To bridge gap between consumption, this paper used residual analyze protocols’ efficiency as metric selected protocols; Destination Sequence Distance Vector (DSDV) On-demand (AODV) via simulation. It also compared amount transmit data packets their destinations in DSDV AODV. Results, terms efficiency, indicated AODV was better than because it consumed less
