ENERGY BASED AODV ROUTING PROTOCOL FOR WIRELESS MESH NETWORK

In Wireless Mesh networks usually nodes have a limited battery supply for transmitting data packets. In WMN, nodes have operated with continuous electrical supply. When this network works for outdoor applications then this establishment of network is very expensive .To avoid this type of fixed energy, solar energy, wind energy and other renewable energy source can be used. This renewable energy sources is called Green Energy .The goal of this paper is to study and perform energy based routing protocol for WMN in green environment. The proposed work comprises the routes and network survivability. In this paper, we present the energy based routing protocol (EBRP) which uses flooding delay method to improve the existing AODV routing protocol. For the performance evaluation, packet delivery ratio, throughput, remaining energy, end to end delay were analyzed using NS-2.35 simulator by varying number of nodes and simulation time. EBRP outperformed AODV.
