Energy Optimization in Manets Using On-demand Routing Protocol

Mobile Ad hoc networks (MANET) allow a set of wireless hosts to exchange information without any special infrastructure. The projct entitled “Energy Optimization in Manets using On-Demand Routing Protocol” motivates the need for energy management in ad hoc wireless networks. Limited battery power is one of the most important issues in mobile ad hoc network as the mobile nodes operate in limited battery power. Also there occurs a problem of broken links due to the lack of energy which cause disorder in network system. Such problem occurs due to the unawareness of energy of mobile neighbor nodes. This paper presents the implementation of Adaptive HELLO messaging scheme to determine the local link connectivity information for monitoring the link status between nodes along with the incorporation of Dynamic On Demand Routing Protocol to reduce the energy consumption of mobile nodes to certain extent.
