Abstract

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the performance of an energy aware routing protocol, called ECB-AODV (Energy Constraint protocol Based on AODV) which derives from the AODV protocol and which is based on the local decisions of intermediate stations to maintain the connectivity of the network as long as possible. The results obtained using the network Simulator NS-2 demonstrate how small changes in the principle of the AODV protocol can efficiently balance the energy consumption between nodes, which increases the network lifetime.
