Title: Energy Efficient Zone Disjoint Shortest Multipath Routing Protocol (EEZDSM)
Abstract: Energy in mobile adhoc networks is of much important. Similarly shortest path from source to destination is also important for routing. Several routing protocols for MANETs have been proposed. Most of the existing routing protocols are single routing path between source and destination nodes. This results in rapid depletion of battery power of the nodes that comprise the path between the source and destination nodes and on the other hand the devices in mobile ad-hoc network have limited power. The proposed protocol overcomes these drawbacks by following a hybrid approach to routing of data packets by establishing Energy efficient zone disjoint shortest multipaths between the source and destination zones by avoiding paths with nodes that have a shorter lifetime remaining, since the nodes‟ residual energy is important in determining the path to successfully complete data transfer without interruption and also avoiding paths with many hopes, which delays the delivery of packets. The proposed protocol is based on the zone disjoint multipath routing protocol (ZMR). The packets are encrypted by using a symmetric cryptosystem. As this is a multipath protocol, it shifts the route without further overhead, delay and loss of packets. Simulation results shows that the proposed protocol EEZDSM performs well compared to existing ZMR and provide a reliable, energy efficient and effective approach for routing packets in MANETs.
