A major issue with ad-hoc networks is energy consumption since nodes
are usually mobile and battery-operated. In this project we compared the
performance of ad-hoc routing protocols in a network where each participating
mobile node has a given battery life and will shut-down when a threshold is
reached. We studied two routing protocols, Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), and
Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector Routing (DSDV), by comparing the node
termination rate as well as the over-all goodput of the network. From the
simulations we observed that in high node density, DSR performs better than
DSDV. The performance gap can be decreased by smaller number of nodes in the
network or more path loss and shadowing variance.
