Energy efficient route selection based on location and received signal strength in manatee

Abstract

Mobile ad-hoc network is a grouping of movable nodes whose mutual effort creates the temporary infrastructure less topology. Nodes or devices communicate each other through radio range, intermediate devices and signal strength based mechanism. Mobile devices work with limited energy because mobile device contain battery that helps only to activate the devices. In previous related work, number of researcher enhanced the network life time by deploying energy consumption routing (ECR), Max-Min Battery cost routing (MMBCR) and many more techniques. In this paper, signal strength, transmission power requirement and location based approach is applied that helps to increase the reliability of the network with low overhead. Node locations are calculated through relative coordinate based mechanism. Signal strength is inversely proportional to location of nodes. It means signal strength is higher if node location is near, and on the other end, lower is the signal strength if far is the location of the node. Source to receiver path are selected on the basis of near node and higher signal strength and low transmission power, which increase the network performance in every aspect of network parameters. The proposed work is simulated through network simulator-2. Simulated result gives the higher data sends and receives rate and also calculates energy used, residual energy of network, receiving signal strength of each node, and node location in every discrete time interval.
