摘要：Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs) is a wireless infrastructureless network, where nodes are free to move independently in any direction. The nodes have limited battery power; hence we require energy efficient routing protocols to optimize network performance. This paper aims to develop a new routing algorithm based on the energy status of the node cache. We have named this algorithm as ECNC_AODV (Energy Constraint Node Cache) based routing protocol which is derived from the AODV protocol. The algorithm is based on the current energy status of each node and the cached node. The simulation result shows the comparison of ECNC_AODV with AODV protocol with the performance parameters such as energy consumption due to routing control packets, routing overhead and delivery ratio. The result shows the advantages of ECNC_AODV over AODV protocol in terms of energy consumption and routing overhead without affecting the delivery ratio. The simulation is done using Network Simulator NS-2 (Version 2.33).
