New power aware routing algorithm for MANETs using gateway node

Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes. Each node works as a router and forms a dynamic topology. Energy is an important resource in the MANET, since every node has equipped with limited battery-power. In this paper, we propose a model called a power-aware routing algorithm for MANET using gateway node. Focus of this work is to minimize number of control message packets, energy consumption and increases the throughput.
