An MAODV-Based Energy Saving Multicast Routing Algorithm
The wireless ad hoc networks (WANET) is an open system that is constituted by fix or mobile nodes. In WANET, each node can be a router or a host. Considering that most nodes may use battery as its energy, it is necessary to improve on energy-saving method. Based on the MAODV protocol, we bring forward a new method called PPEF that uses both hops and energy consumption level of each node together for multicast routing. The simulation results show that our approach is effective.
