摘要：A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile hosts which cooperatively form a network, using no fixed infrastructure or centralized administration. Many problems are encountered in the network realization one major problem is the packet path selection based on energy efficiency. MANETs are usually characterized by mobile nodes with limited battery, so one of the major requirements is to limit energy consumption. This paper proposes a new energy efficient routing protocol called Efficient Power Aware Routing Protocol with Genetic Algorithm (EPARGA) which is a modification of DSR. It minimizes the overhead of source by distributing its load among the intermediate nodes and giving its control of finding the best route between source and destination node. It also balances the consumption of energy between utilized nodes and the underutilized nodes. Efficient Power Aware Routing Protocol (EPAR) is an on demand source routing protocol that uses battery lifetime prediction. Genetic algorithm is applied to find the maximum optimal routes using the process such as selection of individual paths, crossover and mutation technique for reproducing new path. The proposed EPARGA outperforms the existing protocols DSR and EPAR in terms of Routing load , Delay, Throughput and Network lifetime.
