Modified DSR Protocol for Power Saving In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Alphonsa Xavier, S Perumal Sankar

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is a continuously self-configuring, infrastructure-less network of mobile devices. All the nodes involved in these type of networks are battery operated, and the main limitation in this type of networks is Energy optimization. Hence Energy Optimization plays a vital role in the successful operation of the networks. The Dynamic Source Routing protocol is an on demand routing protocol that is based on the concept of source routing. It finds the route from source to destination only when the source initiates the route discovery process. In this paper, we propose a modified dynamic source routing (mDSR) protocol which select energy efficient path. The performance of the proposed protocol has been examined and evaluated with NS-2.34 Simulator in terms of remaining energy, packet delivery fraction, and throughput
