This paper proposes an Energy Aware Routing Protocol (E-AODV) based on AODV which incorporates local routing of intermediate nodes to increase the lifetime of the network .NS2 (Version 2.34) [1] simulator is used for the simulation of new protocol and AODV protocol for the performance parameters packet delivery ratio and delay. This implementation demonstrates that how small changes in the prin...

0974-9756/CIIT–IJ-1443/07/$20/$100 © 2011 CiiT Published by the Coimbatore Institute of Information Technology Abstract---The Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol is an efficient Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) routing protocol. It uses hop count as a metric for the path selection. AODV does not support Quality of Service (QoS) and neither any load-balancing mechanism. The p...

In this paper, a dynamic fuzzy energy state based AODV (DFES-AODV) routing protocol for Mobile Adhoc NETworks (MANETs) is presented. In DFES-AODV route discovery phase, each node uses a Mamdani fuzzy logic system (FLS) to decide its Route REQuests (RREQs) forwarding probability. The FLS inputs are residual battery level and energy drain rate of mobile node. Unlike previous related-works, member...

in recent years, routing has been the most focused area in ad hoc networks research. on-demand routing in particular, is widely developed in bandwidth constrained mobile wireless ad hoc networks because of its effectiveness and efficiency. most proposed on-demand routing protocols are built and relied on single route for each data session. whenever there is a link disconnection on the active ro...

With deployment of thousands or even tens of thousands of sensors in a wireless sensor network (WSN) feasible, the scalability of routing protocols has drawn a lot of attention. Routing protocols in ad hoc networks, such as Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol and its enhanced versions provide one option for the routing design in a large scale WSN. Combining the strengths of AODV wi...

Deployment of multimedia applications warrants provisioning of Quality of Service (QoS) in MANET. However, limited battery power, other resource constraints and mobility of nodes make QoS provisioning difficult to achieve in MANET. This difficulty can be overcome by using a cross-layer approach for routing. In [1] Patil et al., proposed a cross-layer routing protocol named Cost Based Power Awar...
