Abstract:
Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are decentralized, self-configuring, and dynamic nature
wireless networks which have no fixed infrastructure. These can provide several advantages,
however Mobile Ad hoc Networks are energy and bandwidth constrained since nodes operate
with limited battery power and limited bandwidth. Due to that, energy and bandwidth are the
important parameters in order to design mobile ad-hoc network. How to find the efficient route
for MANET routing protocol with efficient energy and bandwidth is the main goal of this thesis.
In this paper, during route discovery process, the destination node receive the route request
message only if it have enough battery power for transmitting the packet and the primary path for
data transmission is selected between source and destination node based on maximal-minimal
residual energy and maximum available bandwidth approach. The results of the simulation show
that the new proposed protocol, which is Improved AOMDV (IP-AOMDV) can effectively
improve the networks’ packets delivery, increase throughput and minimize packet dropping ratio
when compared with AOMDV protocol. NS2.35 simulation tool is used to evaluate the
performance of both routing protocols.
