Energy efficient protocol for AD-HOC networks

In this thesis, routing and energy management for ad-hoc networks have been investigated and a energy efficient protocol has been developed for mobile wireless networks. Developed protocol has been activated whenever energy of nodes decreased to critical level and obstructs completely finishing the energy of nodes. Network simulator 2 (ns-2) has been used as simulation tool. Proposed protocol has been developed using C++ programming language and compared with Ad-hoc on Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol. The experimental results have shown that the developed protocol has been successfully applied to energy management for ad-hoc networks.
