Abstract

The presence of untethered nodes and lack of backbone infrastructure in ad-hoc wireless networks makes energy a very critical resource. In this work we analyze the energy consumption during the various stages of routing - route discovery, message transmission and route maintenance. Since the routing strategies differ widely for different routing protocols we study some representative routing protocols. We examine the reactive protocols AODV and DSR and in the case of proactive protocols we examine OLSR and DSDV. Our analysis takes into account the wake-up schemes. For our analytical model to compute the total energy consumption we need the energy consumed by a node during transmission, reception or while it is idle. To obtain this values we simulated the protocols using ns-2. The experimental results were in conformance with the theoretical behaviour of the routing models.
