EFFICIENT ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN AD HOC NETWORK USING AOMDV-FF

In this paper we are going to analyze the energy consumption in MANET by applying the fitness function to optimize the energy consumption in ad hoc on demand multipath distance vector (AOMDV) routing protocol. The proposed protocol is AOMDV with the fitness function (FF-AOMDV). The fitness function is mainly used to find the optimal path from source node to destination node to reduce the energy consumption in multipath routing. The performance of FF-AOMDV protocol has been evaluated by using network simulator version 2, where the performance is compared with optimized link state routing (OLSR) and AOMDV protocol. Key Terms: AOMDV (Ad-hoc On demand Multipath Distance Vector), AOMR-LM (Ad-hoc On demand Multipath Routing with Lifetime Maximization), DYMO (Dynamic Multipath On-demand routing protocol), FFAOMDV (Fitness Function- Ad-hoc On demand Multipath Distance Vector), OLSR (Optimized Link State Routing).
