Conclusions and Future Work
n Conclusions:
Ø AODV consumes slightly less energy than DSR at comparable
packet delivery ratio
Ø DSR seems to have slightly more balanced energy consumption
between nodes (based on the difference (max - min) of nodal
energy consumption)
Ø Idle energy is about half of total energy consumed
n Future Work:
Ø Design protocol that is energy-efficient and fair (i.e., balanced) –
work under way
Ø Compare to other published energy efficient routing protocols such
as SPAN, etc.
