An Investigative Study on the Energy Efficient Routing and Data Delivery Techniques in Manet

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an infrastructure-less network comprising mobile devices which are linked in a wireless manner. Every device moves in any direction and changes its links frequently. Routing is a method of choosing the suitable path for managing traffic in a network. The mobile node (MN) within the transmission range transmits the information directly. MN that is not in the transmission range transmits the data packet (DP) through the intermediate nodes with minimal energy consumption (EC). Data delivery is defined as the process of delivering the DPs to an exact destination without any loss. But, the existing techniques failed to lessen EC during DP transmission and data delivery task. The key objective is to enhance the data delivery task with less energy and time consumption (TC) during data communicationin MANET.
