Power Aware Reliable Routing to Support Real Time Traffic in Mobile Ad-Hoc Network Prof. A. S. Gundale1 Ms. A. S. Bitala2 1 Professor 2M.E. Student 1,2 Department of Electronics Engineering 1,2 Walchand Institute of Technology, Solapur University, Solapur, Maharashtra, India Abstract— A mobile Ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of wireless nodes that forms a network without central administration. The nodes in such kind of network serve as routers as well as hosts. The nodes can forward packets on behalf of other nodes and run user applications. The energy consumption of the nodes is a critical factor in the operation of a mobile ad hoc network. The existence of a node with low energy may degrade the performance of the system as the node participate in the route discovery phase, but due to low energy it does not forward the packet or it does not participate in message forwarding phase. Such type of node selection will degrade the system performance, minimizes the packet delivery ratio, and maximizes delay thus increasing energy consumption. So an important objective is to consider Energy Aware design of network protocols for Ad hoc network environment. The proposed scheme is incorporated with the route discovery phase of AODV and by simulation using NS/2 it is observed that the proposed algorithm is better than AODV in terms of packet delivery ratio and network lifetime. Key words: MANET, Ad-Hoc network, AODV, routing, NS2 simulator I. INTRODUCTION An ad-hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that forms a temporary network without any centralized administration as shown in Figure-A. In such environment, Communication in MANET is done via multi-hop paths (Figure-B). It may be necessary for one node to enroll other nodes forwarding a packet to its destination due to the limited transmission range of wireless network interfaces [1]. Each mobile node operates not only as a host but also as a router forwarding packets for other mobile nodes in the network that may not be within the direct transmission range of each other. Each node participates in an ad-hoc routing protocol that allows it to discover multi-hop paths through the network to any other node. This idea of mobile ad-hoc network is also called infrastructure less networking [2], since the mobile nodes in the network dynamically establish routing among themselves to form their own network.

Fig. 2: Communication in MANET A. Features:
Autonomous terminal: A node may function as both a host and a router. Distributed operation: No central administration therefore control and management of the network is distributed among the terminals. Multihop routing: When delivering data packets from a source to its destination where no direct route is available. Then the packets should be forwarded via one or more intermediate nodes. Dynamic network topology: Since the nodes are mobile, the network topology may change rapidly and unpredictably and the connectivity among the terminals may vary with time. II. CLASSIFICATION OF ROUTING PROTOCOLS IN MANET
MANET routing protocols are mainly categorized as A. Topology based Approach According to the routing strategy the routing protocols can be categorized as Table-driven and source initiated, while depending on the network structure these are classified as flat routing, hierarchical routing and geographic position assisted routing. 1) Proactive (Table-Driven): It maintains routing information before it needed. Every mode maintain routing information to every other node in network. Rout information is stored in routing table & updated periodically. Examples – Fisheye State Routing (FSR), Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) etc. 2) Reactive (On-Demand): If there is no communication, they don’t maintain routing information. For communication, it searches for the route in an on-demand manner and establishes the connection in order to transmit and receive packets. Examples – Ad hoc On-Demand Vector (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) etc. 3) Hybrid Routing: It is a combination of proactive & reactive approaches Example - Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP)
