Abstract

In mobile ad hoc networks, the major limiting resource for the nodes is the amount of battery power. Researchers have been consistently doing work to optimize its utilization. We know that prolonged battery use during the communication will lead to early disconnections and degrades network performance. In this paper we propose an effective battery utilization algorithm, which is applied during the active data transmission phase of the network and find out the optimal value of the battery power for better network performance. We implement this algorithm on the Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol, which is considered to be an efficient reactive routing protocol. We performed simulation using ns-2 to study the effect of our algorithm by varying energy levels of the battery and compare it with standard DSR protocol. Finally analyze the results to carry out important deductions.
