摘要：In ad hoc networks mobile devices are battery operated and the battery technology has not been improving rapidly. Therefore power consumption is likely to remain an issue in Mobile Ad-hoc Network Routing Protocols. Conventional routing protocols do not consider the power budget where the routes between nodes are built by the shortest path routing algorithms, the most popular of which are the Multipath Dynamic Source Routing Protocols. When the same algorithm is used in MANETs it may lead to a quick depletion of the energy of a few nodes because Multipath Dynamic Source Routing Protocols used more than one path for the same transmission of packets. These multiple paths allow load balancing and faster delivery. So we propose an efficient algorithm, which maximizes the network lifetime by minimizing the power consumption during the source to destination route establishment in Multipath Dynamic Source Routing Protocols. The scope of this thesis is to develop technique to check the remaining energy for each node and uses a cost function to choose the best power saving route and deals with the broken routes due to the nodal energy depletion and node mobility in MP-DSR.
