SURVEY OF LOCATION AWARE BASED ENERGY EFFICIENT AODV ROUTING PROTOCOLS IN MANET

Abstract

A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of mobile hosts that move in different directions and speeds without the need to maintain connectivity with existing network infrastructure. If two mobile nodes are within each other’s transmission range, they can communicate with each other directly; otherwise, the nodes in between have to forward the packets for them. In such a case, every mobile node has to function as a router to forward the packets for others. Thus, routing is a basic operation for the MANET.Energy is one of the important issues in Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET). Nodes are in network are working in the presence of limited energy then energy efficient routing is necessary for reducing energy consumption. Efficient minimum energy routing schemes can greatly reduce energy consumption and extends the lifetime of the networks. Now location aware DREAM protocol is reduces the energy consumption because due to the awareness of location less number of routing packets are flooded in the network by that energy consumption are reduces.  In this paper we focus on the previous researches that had been done in field of location aware energy efficient routing in MANET.
