EFFECTIVE ROUTING PROTOCOL IN MOBILE AD-HOC NETWORK USING INDIVIDUAL NODE ENERGY

MANET – Mobile Ad-hoc Network. MANETs are usually self-routing and selfconfigured networking environment and dynamic environment. In MANET there is no centralized access point where as in fixed infrastructure we have centralized assess point that is in fixed infrastructure networks each and every node must communicate through access point only but in case of MANTS we can transfer the data from source to destination by using nearby node or neighbor node. Since the MANETs has dynamic environment nature there exists communication failures because of intermediate nodes or node disconnection, hardware or software problems. So, routing the packets in this type of networks is one of the basic problems. Overcoming this problem is a challenging issue, here we proposed a protocol to route the packets based on individual node energy. Accepted Node Energy (ANE) determines distance between nodes. If the value of ANE is more than threshold value of accepted node energy (T_ANE) then transitional node compare the value of ANE and T_ANE then allow RREQ(Route Request) packet otherwise reject the packet and send to the next neighbor node and so on. These propose protocol will gives effective data delivery from source to destination and also improves the lifetime of network.
