A Study of Routing Protocols for Energy Conservation in Manets

Abstract

Today, we all are living in the technological era and in the few past years we have seen the speedy increase in the usage of mobile devices that work without base station, moreover, all these devices are movable that means they are not fixed. The mobiles devices can be cell phones, PDA, Laptop, Tablet PCs etc. All the wireless devices communicate with neighboring node through the multiple hops as they are infrastructure-less network All the mobile nodes are battery oriented and energy is a limited resource in MANETs. One of the considerable issue in mobile ad hoc network (MANETs) communication is energy consumption. To overcome this dispute many algorithms has been proposed that preserved the energy of the devices as far as possible without affecting the performance and other characteristics of the network.
