Enhanced multipath LEACH protocol for increasing network life time and minimizing overhead in MANET

Abstract

Energy utilization is one of the important issues in MANET, efficient routing is necessary to utilize energy consumption and enhance the network performance. A mobile Ad hoc network (MANET) is autonomous, self-organizing and self-configuring network with the capability of rapid deployment in response to application needs. LEACH is an energy based protocol which works on the cluster base mechanism to utilize the energy consumption. The cluster formation is completely depends on the remaining energy of mobile nodes. The cluster has always having more energy than cluster members. In this paper we analyses the performance of LEACH protocol with reactive on demand multipath AOMDV protocol to efficiently utilize the energy constraint in network. Here proposed scheme are not compare with any previous existing scheme. The performance of proposed MAX energy based LEACH-AOMDV is compared with normal LEACH-AOMDV routing and observes that the energy utilization is more in proposed LEACH. In Our experiments show that nodes have at best imprecise state information, especially under high traffic rates. LEACH generates cluster and gives information about energy of each cluster belonging to zone and if energy of the node is higher so LEACH selects that particular node for data transmission that increases the reliable communication. In this paper we also analyse the result in the form of network parameter like throughput, packet delivery ratio, energy consumption via node and routing overhead.
