AOMDV protocall

With the advent of Wireless Technology, various applications in traditional wired networks have been adopted in Wireless Networks such as Ad Hoc Networks, Wireless Sensor Networks etc. Owing to limited energy in these devices power saving is very critical to prolong the lifetime of these devices. If the objective is to transmit multimedia, it is required to balance the power control and lifetime with the end to end Quality Constraints. Our work finds a mechanism to minimize the energy consumption while satisfying the QoS for Multimedia. In this work, we use cross-layer optimization mechanism based on power control for Maximal Minimal Residual Energy- Ad Hoc On Demand Multipath Distance Vector (MMRE-AOMDV) routing protocol and the optimization mechanism is subject to certain QoS requirement in terms of total end-to end Quality Level. The proposed Sink Based MMRE-AOMDV routing algorithm uses the information such as image size, node gain, noise information available in the route request packets to calculate the optimal power vectors and the number of packets that can be sent by the source for each disjoint path in the route reply packets. The source is freed from the complex algorithmic executions and hence the energy needed for this purpose is conserved. It is assumed that energy is not a constraint for the sink and it has abundant computational power.
