Abstract

Energy resource is one of the most important resources in ad hoc networks where terminals are always supplied with limited energy. Recently, study on the strategy of saving energy and protecting lower energy nodes is attracting more and more attention. In this paper, energy-aware level-distribute (EALD)dynamic routing algorithm is introduced. Residual energy is divided into three levels, according to which, relevant algorithm of routing discovery is adopted. Load balance strategy in the whole network and protecting of lower energy nodes are well carry out. On the other hand, a large reduction of substitute routing discovery time is achieved because of remaining energy awareness and warning strategy in the routing maintenance. Compared with AODV protocol in various configurations of environment, simulation results show that this routing protocol prolongs the life time and releases the traffic load of the overused nodes.
