Energy Conservation for Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Multipath Routing Protocol
International Journal of Computer Network and Information Security (IJCNIS) 6(6):1 – 8.
Routing in ad hoc mobile networks is a problem which has
not yet been satisfactorily solved. Traditional routing
techniques are not well adapted to new networks. Indeed,
their lack of reactivity with respect to the traffic and
network changes means traditional routing techniques cannot
easily be used except at the price of over-dimensioning of
the network resources (network bandwidth, node memory
utilization, node CPU load, etc.). In recent years the
research community has been interested in the improvement
of ad hoc routing, and among the solutions suggested
multipath routing has been considered. Multiple paths are
exploited in order to ensure reliability and a quick
reaction to changes in topology with a low overhead
generated by the control messages. In this article we
present an extension of the well-known routing protocol
AODVM (Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector Multipath). We
propose to improve the multipath routing strategy with a
path classification to allow the paths with the best energy
level to be chosen
