摘要:Energy management issues are very important in the context of ad hoc networks. Energy needs to be optimally utilized so that the nodes can perform their functionality satisfactorily. MANETs are energy constrained as most ad hoc nodes to day operate with limited battery power. So, it is important to minimize energy consumption of the entire network in order to maximize the life time of the network. In this paper we proposed load balancing method for the new on-demand routing protocol (Preemptive DSR). As per the method, the PDSR selects a route at any time based on the minimum energy availability of the routes and the energy consumption per packet of the route at that time. The Simulation results shows that PDSR has increased packet delivery ratio and decreased delay compared with existing DSR.
