Abstract: Mobile Ad-Hoc
Network (MANET) is a decentralized, self-organizing and a dynamic network. These
futures make MANET becomes more and more used in many domains.
However, this kind of network still suffers from various types of restrictions.
Among these restrictions, and the biggest one is the energy consumption. The
classical routing protocols proposed by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF),
in its establishment of the routes, searches for the shortest path in terms of
the number of hops between the source and destination, while they don't take in
consideration the energy level or the lifetime of the intermediate nodes. In
this work, we propose a solution called Enhanced Energy-AODV (EE-AODV), which
is an enhancement of the Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing
protocol. In our proposed solution, we tend to obtain a sufficient result in
terms of the stability a lifetime of the different path in the network, by
adding the energy consumption among the selection criteria of the AODV routing
protocol. The different simulation results show that EE-AODV outperforms EQ-AODV (Energy and QoS supported AODV)
and the basic AODV by reducing
significantly the energy dissipation, also enhances certain parameters that are
affected by the energy issue like Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) and Normalized
Routing Load (NRL).
