A Survey on Energy Consumption in Routing Protocols for MANET Using Cross Layer

This paper presents the exhaustive search on reduced energy consumption routing protocols for MANET using cross layer. There are so many techniques available for energy consumption in routing protocols. MANET is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that forms a temporarily dynamic network without any centralized administrator. Each node in MANET moves arbitrarily that result as random change in network topology. Cross-Layer Design has recently become the new hype in MANET systems. This paper is to examine the current research activities in energy consumption of Cross-Layer Design. Keywords: MANET, Routing Protocol, Infrastructure Network, Cross Layer.
