A New DSR-Based Routing Protocol with Energy-Aware in Ad Hoc Networks

Efficient energy conservation plays an important role in the performance of wireless ad hoc networks because mobile hosts in such networks are usually battery-operated. In this paper,based on DSR,we present an energy-aware routing protocol SDDRP(Source-Destination Determined Delay routing protocol) in order to maximize the life-span of a network without any central information about the topology or traffic demands. Simulation results show that the SDDRP can balance effectively energy wasting of each node and increase evidently the life time and the throughout of the network.
