Modified Energy-Aware AODV Routing for Ad hoc Networks

Routing in ad hoc networks has received significant attention with a number of different routing protocols proposed in recent years. DSR, DSDV and AODV are the shortest path protocols for ad hoc networks. According to energy, the shortest path may be not the best path. A new mechanism of energy-aware named EAODV for ad hoc is proposed in this paper, which is based on the classical AODV (the routing protocol on demand). And backup routing mechanism is adopted. In EAODV, the route which spends less energy and owns larger capacity is selected by synthetic analysis. Use software simulating and analyze performance of it. The simulations indicate that this protocol is better than AODV in packet delivery ratio, average end to end delay and normalized routing overhead.
