In this paper Energy Saving Dynamic Source Routing
(ESDSR) protocol is introduced to maximize the life-span of
a mobile ad hoc network (MANET). Many theoritical studies
show that energy consumption in MANET can be significantly
reduced using energy-aware routing protocols compared
to fixed-power minimum-hop routing protocols. Two
approaches are broadly suggested for energy-aware routing
protocols - transmission power control approach and
load sharing approach. ESDSR integrates the advantages
of those two approaches. In ESDSR, the routing decision
is based on a load balancing approach. Once a routing
decision is made, link by link transmit power adjustment
per packet is done based on a transmit power control approach.
We modified Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol
to make it energy aware by a network simulator (Network
Simulator-2 of University of California). The simulation
results show that the proposed ESDSR can save energy
up to 40% per packet and it can send 20 % more packets
to destinations by spending the same battery power in compare
to DSR.
