Energy-Aware Overhead Optimized Multipath Routing Protocol For Manets

Abstract Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) face significant challenges in energy efficiency and routing overhead due to their dynamic topology and resource-constrained nature. Traditional routing protocols primarily focus on minimum hop count without considering energy conservation, leading to premature node failures and network partitioning. This paper presents an Overhead-Aware Modified Multipath Routing Protocol (MMPRP) that integrates energy efficiency with trust-based node SELECTION and multipath routing to enhance network lifetime and performance. The proposed protocol incorporates cluster-based trust management, Estimated Overhead Rate (EOR) metrics, and multipath routing to reduce channel occupancy. Simulation results using NS-2 demonstrate that MMPRP outperforms existing protocols like E-AODV and MRPC in terms of packet delivery ratio (improved by 15-20%), routing overhead (reduced by 25-30%), end-to-end delay (decreased by 20-25%), and network throughput (increased by 18-22%). The protocol's innovative combination of trust valuation, overhead awareness, and multipath routing provides a comprehensive solution for energy-constrained MANET environments.
