Abstract: The nodes in mobile ad hoc networks are highly power dependent. Therefore, energy consumption serves as an important metric. In this study, researchers proposed technique that includes energy aspects in the routing protocol, Enhanced Optimized Link State Routing (EOLSR). On implementing few modifications to the OLSR, researchers aim at improving the life time of the node and performance of the network under different CBR intervals. In addition, the modified MPR selection plays an important role in making the EOLSR an energy aware and efficient routing protocol. Researchers finally showed that tuning the control message intervals have a greater enhancement on the performance and life time of nodes. For the dynamic network, it is observed that there is a throughput gain of about 20-35% showing better performance than the default OLSR.
