SPF: Segmented processor framework for energy efficient proactive routing based applications in MANET

Communicating nodes in MANET (Mobile Ad hoc Network) are highly mobile and battery powered. Energy of component node is a scare resource in MANET and the network lifetime depends on the availability of battery power. Numerous optimizations have been made in routing algorithms to ensure energy efficiency and increased network lifetime. This paper proposes a segmented processor framework particularly for the proactive routing based applications in MANET to optimize power consumption. The simulation results indicate energy savings of approximately over seven times as compared to identical set up with conventional processor architecture.
