EDSR in MANETs

Energy consumption is a challenge in MANET. This paper describes a modified DSR approach called EDSR. The energy node selected to provide meaningful path. The residual energy of neighbour node is compared with the average energy of the path and accordingly the node is disabled. The selected multi source and destination travelled in shortest path and also travelled in traffic free path by using color marking techniques. This proposed algorithm showed positive results in terms of energy conservation when simulated using 50 nodes UDP traffic. Energy consumption in EDSR reduces to greater level as consumed by IDSR. In this work still various research scopes are available such as Traffic Security QoS etc. but I preferred the “Traffic Marking” for traffic free path selection using Token Bucket Marking concept for the selected shortest path. Two colour approach is used i.e. Green – Traffic free path and Red – Traffic full path. This approach proposed for energy efficient routing.
