Abstract
Mobile Ad-hoc network (MANET) comprises of mobile nodes which can communicate with each other through wireless channel. MANET is different from fixed wired networks, as the nodes are mobile, and they have a limited transmission range. A major issue with ad-hoc networks is energy consumption since node mobility is dependent on battery-operation. The mobility of the nodes introduces a new challenge to find the location of the node. Most of the MANET routing protocols rely on flooding for finding the location of the node. In this paper an attempt is made to study the effects of flooding on the energy consumption of the nodes. The comparison is made on the protocols DSDV, AODV, DSR which rely on flooding, with the Ring routing protocol which does not use flooding for finding the location of the node. The ring protocol introduces a new conceptual design, which does not depend on flooding nor uses location dependent identifiers for locating the node. The ring protocol is well suited for studying the effect of flooding on the energy consumption as this protocol does not use flooding. This paper covers the introduction and working of the protocol, and the results of comparison. The simulation is carried out using ns-2 simulator.
