Improvement In MAODV Protocol Using Location Based Routing Protocol

摘要

Energy saving is difficult in wireless sensor network (WSN) due to limited resources. Each node in WSN is constrained by their limited battery power for their energy. The energy is reduced as the time goes off due to the packet transmission and reception. Energy management techniques are necessary to minimize the total power consumption of all the nodes in the network in order to maximize its life span. Our proposed protocol Location based routing (LBR) aimed to find a path which utilizes the minimum energy to transmit the packets between the source and the destination. The required energy for the transmission and reception of data is evaluated in MATLAB. LBR is implemented on Multicast Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector Routing Protocol (MAODV) to manage the energy consumption in the transmission and reception of data. Simulation results of LBR show the energy consumption has been reduced.
