We presented the results of comparing the energy
consumption behaviour of two routing protocols
respectively, Ad hoc on demand distance vector (Adhoc)
and Maximum energy level AODV(Mel-Aodv).The
results obtained from the simulation allow us to conclude
that network lifetime and data delivery ratio are better in
MEL-AODV than AODV protocol. The proposed MELAODV
protocol combines the overall node energy on the
link as route selection metric. Protocol extends the
system lifetime and also improves the packet delivery
ratio.
