Energy Aware Secure Routing Protocol For Mobile Adhoc Networks

Abstract: Ad-hoc networks are collection of mobile nodes that temporarily form a dynamic network and these nodes are communicated through the wireless link. Ad-hoc mobile networks are self organizing distributed networks in which the nodes rely on each other to transfer data without any fixed infrastructure. A routing protocol plays a vital role to handle entire network for communication and determines the efficient path. If the transmission from a source to the destination is successful, it has been assumed that the routing protocol is more suitable. In order to facilitate communication within the network, a routing protocol is used to discover routes between nodes. The primary goal of such an adhoc Network routing protocol is correct and efficient route establishment between a pair of nodes so that messages may be delivered in a timely manner. Although establishing an efficient route is a main goal, a more challenging task is to provide energy efficient routing protocols. Since, the critical factors for an ad-hoc network are the operation time that can be restricted by battery energy and propagation effects. This paper surveys the efficient energy aware routing techniques proposed for MANETs.
