Performance Evaluation of Energy Consumption of Ad hoc Routing Protocols

In wired networks there are different physical devices routing the traffic centrally, by consequence we can create paths in the network by using multiple management rules, but in Ad-Hoc network nodes must do this work in an autonomous way. For that there are three types of routing protocol proactive, reactive and hybrid. The first one continuously calculates the possible paths to be available at the time of transmission. The second one create the roads only when are needed. And the last one is a combination between the two methods. In this study we will focus on three routing protocols AODV, OLSR and ZRP; and compare their performance in terms of Routing Power, Throughput, Energy Consumed in Transmit mode, Energy Consumed in Receive Mode, End-to-End Delay..
