Power Aware Reliable Routing (PARR) In Mobile Ad-HOC Network

Prof. A. S. Gundale | A. S. Bitala

Abstract: A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a self configuring network composed of mobile nodes without any fixed infrastructure. A very important and necessary issue for mobile ad-hoc networks is to find the route between source and destination due to the dynamic topology of the network. Power failure and the energy consumption of the nodes is a critical factor in the operation of a mobile ad hoc network. More efficient algorithm is proposed here that is PARR (Power Aware Reliable Routing), which tries to maximize the lifetime of network by minimizing the power consumption during the route establishment from source to destination. The proposed algorithm is incorporated with the route discovery phase of AODV (Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector Routing). The combination of AODV and PARR offers efficient and reliable routing mechanism. The simulation results illustrate that PARR achieves good performance in terms of end-to-end delay and data throughput, packet delivery ratio, packet drop.
