摘要：Energy efficient routing is be one of the most important design criterion for MANET since mobile nodes are battery powered with limited capacity and which cannot be recharged when ever needed. So, MANET routing is challenged by power and bandwidth constraints. When mobile nodes run out of power, the network gets partitioned and thus some sessions are disconnected. In order to solve this problem and to achieve efficient energy consumption, many solutions have been proposed. All those works are done as the extension of the already existing ad hoc routing protocols such as Reactive, Proactive and Hybrid Routing. Since table-driven protocols consume more energy compared to on-demand protocols, the proposals made modifications to existing reactive protocols. Most of the energy-aware protocols referenced here are implemented as modifications of the basic routing protocols using energy-sensitive metrics. Link stability is also an important challenge of MANET routing. Many routing algorithms have been proposed for providing QoS in terms of link stability. In this work we concentrated on evaluating how these approaches and algorithms affect the energy consumption in the mobile devices and how stable routes are established in the network.
