Abstract

Abstract – Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) consists of wireless mobile nodes in a self-organized environment devoid of fixed infrastructure and centralized management. The mobility of nodes leads to rapid and unpredictable changes in network topology. Such environment increases link failures and consequently increases the power consumption of the participating nodes. Using unaware-energy routing protocol shortens the network lifetime.  Therefore, this paper is devoted to introducing an Energy Efficient Ad hoc on Demand Distance Vector (EEAODV) routing protocol to prolong the network lifetime. Specifically, the proposed protocol utilizes the super-increasing knapsack to select the best energy-efficient path between the source and destination. The suggested scheme has been implemented using the network simulator NS2 Version 2.31. The proposed EEAODV protocol is compared with the standard Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Energy Distance Aware Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (EDA-AODV) schemes. The experimental results in terms of throughput and the number of alive nodes under various scenarios show that the proposed protocol outperforms the other two protocols.
