Abstract

Nodes in ad hoc networks have limited battery power. Hence they require an energy-efficient technique to improve average network performance. Maintaining energy-efficiency in ad hoc networks is really challenging because highest energy efficiency is achieved if all the nodes are always switched off and energy-efficiency will be minimum if all the nodes are fully operational i.e. always turned-on. Energy preservation requires redirection of data packets through some other routes having good performance. This improves the data packet delivery ratio and the number of alive nodes decreasing the cost of messages.
