Self Organized Energy Efficient Algorithm for Network Creation and Maintenance in MANETs

Abstract Self organized network is on the fly and infra structured less network. Identification of various roles in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks is in demand due to characteristics like emergent behavior , simplicity of algorithm, low cost and no central administration. Different Strategies for creation and maintenance of this robust and on the fly network are introduced. The major factor that affects the self organized wireless network is Energy of devices. Consumption of energy of devices and non interruptible service in self organized network is major focus of our research. This paper introduces robust algorithm for network creation and maintenance by avoiding network inconsistencies due to various nodes whose roles are not uniquely identified. We have identified various roles like Agent, Leader, Gateways, Bridge and nodes showing willingness to act as leader, Gateway and Bridge. With the identification of various roles network is created and further this network is maintained with our network maintenance algorithm which is explained in detail in this paper. Implementation studies shows energy efficiency and minimum links in network as compared to MST.
