Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) must contemplate energy-constrained operations due to the nodes' strong dependency on batteries. Only recently, we noticed the advent of studies to address the energy issue in MANETs. In this paper we compare the three most relevant proposals: the Minimum Total Transmission Power Routing (MTPR), the Min-Max Battery Cost Routing (MMBCR) and the Conditional Max-Min Battery Capacity Routing (CMMBCR). The MTPR attempts to reduce the total transmission power consumed per packet, while the MMBCR tries to consider the remaining battery power of nodes to prolong the lifetime of each node. Finally, the CMMBCR is a hybrid protocol that tries to arbitrate between the MTPR andMMBCR. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first simulation study to compare the three protocols with various MANET scenarios subject to variable mobility and network density using the ns-2 simulator. Through the simulation, we also show the importance of energy consumption due to overhearing when developing power-aware protocols for MANETs.
