Modified Energy-Aware DSR Routing for Ad hoc Network

DBF, DSDV, DSR and AODV are the shortest path protocols for Ad hoc network. According to energy, the shortest routing may be not the best routing. At present, most of energy-aware protocols only consider the transmitting-power of every hop, or the leaving-power of nodes. A new mechanism of energy-aware named EDSR for ad hoc is proposed in this paper, which is based on the classic DSR (the routing protocol on demand). In EDSR, the routing which spends less energy and owns larger capacity is synthetically analyzed and then selected, so it can save more energy and prolong the living of network.
