MODIFIED DSR PROTOCOL FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN MANET WITH LOAD SHARING

Computer engineering

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an infrastructure-less network where battery power of nodes limits the communication capabilities. For Routing purpose Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol is largely utilized in and it is also beneficial in MANET. Modified DSR protocol is Energy Efficient protocol where energy consumption is minimized. It selects nodes which consume less energy. Load Sharing is to distribute load, so that no path gets heavily loaded or stays ideal. Because of load sharing failure of any path doesn’t cause more loss of packet. In this work Load sharing mechanism in MDSR protocol is proposed, where energy efficient path will have data to transfer from source to destination.
