An Energy Efficient Route Selection in MANET with AOMDV Routing Algorithm

The computational power of mobiles nodes and easy to handle attracts researchers to use this computational power & handiness for solving many applications where deployment of bulky devices is not possible. All mobile nodes are operated on limited battery power. Wirelessly charging these nodes is a challenging task. Node consumes energy for route discovery, transmitting packets, receiving packets, sleep mode and ideal mode. Efficient use of an existing battery node is the emerging field of research. Many researchers designed and proposed new techniques and some researchers are combining various existing techniques to minimize the energy consumption and improve the lifetime of the network. Energy efficient route selection mechanism is proposed in this paper. Repetitive use of same efficient route for communication is avoided, and selection of alternate route on the basis of energy threshold value is proposed. This will improve the overall lifetime of the network.
