摘要：Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are composed of mobile nodes that form complex distributed systems without any fixed infrastructure and are featured by limited battery recourses. It is known that energy failure of a node affects the node itself, affects its ability to forward data packets on behalf of other nodes and hence affects the overall MANETs lifetime. Consequently, Development of an efficient energy-aware protocol is the need of todays MANETs. Much research have been devoted to develop energy-aware routing protocols. This paper proposes two energy-aware routing algorithms: an energy-aware ad hoc on-demand distance vector (e-AODV) and an energy-aware dynamic source routing (e-DSR), and compares their performance with the well-known AODV and DSR routing algorithms. Glomosim is used to simulate and to compare the performance of the four routing algorithms (AODV, DSR, e-AODV and e-DSR) in terms of average energy consumption, average end-to-end delay and average drop packets. Results reveal that e-DSR is able to work best in terms of averaged energy consumption and averaged end-to-end delay over different mobility speeds.
