Abstract

Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) is a wireless infrastructureless network consists of set of mobile nodes which are free to move in any direction. Energy efficient protocol is the basic requirement for MANET due to limited battery power and bandwidth. MANET routing protocols are mainly classified as Proactive and Reactive protocols. To study the existing protocols, this paper concentrates on the energy consumption of Proactive and Reactive protocols like DSDV and AODV under ON/OFF (Exponential) source traffic rather than CBR source traffic. Total energy consumed by the nodes that are involved in transmission and reception process and the energy consumed due to protocol packets is evaluated in this paper by varying pause time, speed, number of nodes, number of sources, gird area and sending rate. The simulation is done in NS-2 version 2.31. The simulation result gives the behavior of DSDV and AODV under ON/OFF traffic in comparison with CBR traffic.
