Analysis of Energy Efficiency and Throughput for IEEE 802.11 based Mobile Adhoc Networks

Manpreet Kaur, Pooja Saini

Abstract: In Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) there is no central infrastructure and the mobile devices are moving randomly, they may give rise to various kinds of problems, such as energy efficiency and power consumption within a network. Our aim is to make energy efficient. Lot of research work has been done on energy efficieny in MANET with different constraints and with different protocols. One critical issue in MANETs is how to conserve energy of devices in the network. In this paper Energy model is used in GPSR protocol and various threshold are implemented at the MAC Layer to conserve energy. Finally performance of entire network using different parameters like Total Energy Consumed, Throughput has been analysed.
