ABSTRACT

Mobile Ad Hoc Network is a set of nodes which can communicate each other through wireless links. The function of nodes in MANETs does not rely on base stations with fixed infrastructure. Many reasons act as a cause for mobile node failure such as hardware or software problem, draining of battery power, going out of the communication ranges of its neighbor nodes or leaving from the network range. In these reasons, draining of battery power is considered as the most important. Recently various protocols employed to decrease the energy consumption. But most of the routing protocols are not intended to adapt congestion and finest link quality. In this paper, the energy consumption in MANET is highlighted by employing the fitness function technique with load balance to optimize the energy consumption in AOMDV routing protocol. The fitness function with load balance is used to discover the best path from source node to destination node to lessen the energy consumption and to boost the throughput in multipath routing. The simulation outcome via ns2 expose that our proposed fitness function with load balancing scheme act superior than existing protocol in terms of Packet Delivery Ratio, End-to-End Delay, Throughput, Energy Consumption, Network Lifetime, Routing Overhead Ratio, Data rate, Packet Loss and Node Residual Energy.
