A new AOMDV lifetime prolonging routing algorithm for Ad-Hoc networks

Abstract

Network lifetime is a key design metric in MANETs, it is considered as one of the most important parametersalgorithmstobeusedinadhocnetworks.Eachnetworknodeworkscompletely independently and acts as a router for relaying communications. If some nodes die prematurely because of battery depletion, the network lifetime will be adversely affected, and the network will get disconnected. This article presents AOMDV-LP, a new AOMDV lifetime-prolonging routing algorithm for MANETs. This new algorithm helps to maximize the network lifetime by managing nodesenergy,linkcostandcontrollingthenetworkscongestion.Simulationsquantifytheperformance gains of the authors algorithm
