Abstract :
Mobile Ad hoc networks are networks of mobile hosts with wireless interfaces that can dynamically form a network without the aid of any pre-existing infrastructure or centralized administration. Battery capacity is an important factor that decides the network lifetime. If any node is dying out of low battery capacity then as a consequence there will be dropping of packets. So, it is vital to protect the node from becoming unstable due to reduction in remaining battery capacity. Realizing the importance, this paper proposes a novel method to recover the node by continuous ´unstable node´ tracking method at an optimum threshold battery capacity value. This method also rectifies the drawback of the network getting blocked with the help of two methods: either self recovery of nodes or by intelligently adapting to the safest routing point in order to conserve the energy until recharge. Initially, the extensive analysis and after effects of unstable nodes due to reduction in remaining battery capacity is discussed followed by the two novel ways to self recover dying nodes and eventually making the network healthy.
