Simulation and comparative analysis of energy conservation performance metric for ERAODV, AODV and DSDV routing protocols in MANET

In Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs), mobile devices are equipped with power. In order to utilize this energy equipped devices resourcefully for transmission of data packets, many energy aware routing strategies are followed. As a key note to these routing strategies, the energy aware performance metrics are analyzed on two routing protocols like Ad-Hoc on Demand Distance Vector Protocol (AODV) and Destination Sequenced Distance Vector Routing Protocol (DSDV). The comparison results prove that AODV protocol can be adopted for any routing strategy, in order to increase the performance of the network lifetime in comparison with DSDV.
