Abstract

Generally the mobile nodes are battery operated which make energy a scarce resource in MANETs. Efficient utilization of the energy is one of the most crucial issues in MANETs. Energy needs to be optimally utilized so that the nodes can perform their functionality satisfactorily. A node in MANET is a router as well, it could be difficult for a mobile node to sustain for a long time if it sends or receives data more often like in wired networks. Power failure of a mobile node not only affects the node itself but also its ability to forward the packets on behalf of others and thus overall network lifetime. Most of the studies in literature are based on topology-based routing protocols. This paper performs a comparative study of energy efficiency of some location-based and topology-based routing protocols using simulation. Different components of energy consumption are analyzed in different scenarios.
