Abstract

In this paper we develop a novel energy aware routing approach for mobile ad hoc network (MANET) problems. The approach is based on using Optimized Link State Routing Protocol. Our Energy Aware OLSR labeled as OLSR_EA measures and predicts per-interval energy consumptions using the well-known Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average time series method. We develop a composite energy cost, by considering transmission power consumption and residual energy of each node, and use this composite energy index as the routing metric. Our extensive ns2 simulation experiments show that OLSR_EA substantially prolongs the network lifetime and saves total energy used in MANET. In our experiments we considered different scenarios considering a variety of traffic loads, node mobilities, homogeneous power consumption, and heterogeneous power consumption. Simulation results also confirm that OLSR_EA improves the traffic balance between nodes, and packet delivery ratio in higher node speed. We further develop characteristics of OLSR_EA in power-wise heterogeneous MANET to achieve efficient energy preserving performance.
