Abstract

A mobile ad hoc network consists of nodes which are constrained by limited battery power for their operation. Thus, battery management is an important issue in such networks. There are few power aware routing protocols developed for ad hoc wireless networks at data link, network and higher layers to solve the problem of energy management. In this paper, we compare the performance of two globalized power aware routing protocols- minimum battery cost routing (MBCR) and min-max battery cost routing (MMBCR) by comparing the route failure times of both protocols. We have used ns2 to carry out the simulation. From the simulation results we observe that MMBCR have longer network lifetime than MBCR, thus MMBCR performs better than MBCR in a battery constraint mobile ad hoc network environment.
